So you are better off with larger sensors and less pixels per square inch. How to quantify this is beyond my current understanding..... Now, add in the algorithms used in the printing process, and God knows what is better..... the printer algorithms are just about amazing. So maybe is all a moot point? BTW, Bob, have you compared a print made from your Hasselblad ( film + scanner) to a print made from your M8 of the same scene.... which do you find "better" and why? Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net If your primary need is to print big prints?as sharp as can be (i.e., no softness due to data degradation) and you don't need low light capabilities beyond 800 or 1600 (so speed isn't an issue), is it better to have 12MP with big sites or 20+MP with smaller sites?
