camera recommendation?

[Racer X]

do NOT be fooled into listening to the marketing hype about being able to make 20x30 prints from an inexpensive digital camera. If he genuinly wants to go that big, he needs 8 megapixels or more in MY opinion. I made custom photo enlargements in our darkroom at work that were usually 11x14, and I can tell you that 5 megapixels on a 6 ink wide format photo printer isn't anywhere near as nice when printed as 11x14. Those extra 3 megapixels make a huge difference as long as the optics are up to the job.

listen to pRON, I do.
