there you go ;)
considering my EOD10D what is the maximum size of good quality print that I can get ?
you know this question is supposed to be simple ... but well, there is a bayer filter limiting the true resolution of the camera, and then there is the viewing distance from me to the photo (you look at a large print from a bigger distance than from a small one), and then the vision accuracy of the eye (30 seconds of arc minimum between details)
i finally discovered that having enough pixels to print with between 200 and 300 ppi is not enough !!!
has anyone any good web resource that could lead me to a formula ? or any clue ?
in fact i'm trying to undestannd why a pic from a 5MP coolpix should be of lower quality than the ones from my 10D ! (in addition to the size of the sensor!)
thank you in advance because i'm getting lost with this one ;)
