Am confused. Hopefully an answer either by Dr.Sam, Tom Tom, ARA 57 or Petra Au. Was rummmaging through some older Consumer Reports last night. And I know a photo is a very subjective thing. But when a testing organization rates the quality of an 8X10 excellent on many occassions it's pretty consistent in what they do.
May'03 issue shows 4 cameras that take excellent 8X10s when enlarged. Canon PowerShot A40 at 2 megapixels, Kodak EasyShare DX3600 zoom at 2.2 MP, EasyShare DX4330DX4330 at 3.1 MP, Fujifilm Finepix 3800 at 3.2 MP and also Finepix 601 zoom at 3 MP.
Nov'03 issue shows an additional two cameras at 3 MP, excellent 8X10s. Also shows 4 cameras at 4 MP, excellent 8X10s.
Question: how can cameras with just 2 and 3 megapixels produce such a great image? If most people don't crop why are the camera companies producing 8,9, and 10 megapixels?
