Here is something I don't understand. According to a review of the Nikon Coolpix 5700, you can make photo quality prints all the way up to 13" X 19" that are virtually indistinguishable from film generated photos. How this is this possible? If the full resolution of this and any other 5 megapixl camera is 2560 X 1920, divided by 300 dpi will yield an 8.5" X 6.4" print. wouldn't this be the largest photo quality print you can get from a 5 megapixl camera?
Image quality and the ability to shoot fast are my 2 main concerns. Is the Nikon Coolpix 5700 the best 5 megapixl camera in its class for this or are there others I should consider? K. Merrill Los Angeles |

Using my Nikon 5700 I have made 3 - 11x17 and 1 - 13x19 prints using my Canon S9000. I have compared the photos I made to 35mm SLR results of 2 different wedding photo enlargements friends of mine had done. The quality I get, in my opinion is better than the SLR result.
On another note; Just as NHL said, I would look at different cameras of the same class to be sure you get the camera you need for Your type of photography: Olympus 5050 Sony F717 Minolta 7hi - |

This is a slight variation on the "How big a print can I make?" question. The answer depends (in part) on issues that have nothing whatsoever to do with the camera such as: viewing distance, amount of detail in the subject, and -most importantly- the eye of the beholder. Those same issues come into play when saying virtually indistinguishable . |
