Do you guys know any good website that has ULTRA high resolution photos of nature, landscape, scenery etc? Printer Test

[nanyangview]

As Xmas present to HP employees, HP gave me a Photosmart 7960 8-colour photoprinter, a boxload of ink cartridge and photo papers for me to play with. But my 4-megapixel sony camera produce sh$t pictures when printed out 8X10. so do you guys know any website that has ULTRA high photos of landscape, scenery and nature for print out? Preferably 5 Megapixel and above.

I printed a 11 MP pic taken by a Canon DSLR and it just look mesmorizing.

If you can't find a site, see if you can get TIFF scans of film from a friend who may have a film scanner. That'll keep you busy for a while, as well as the amount of system ram it will take to print the image.

You obviously work for the good HP. The only thing we're getting is the continuing uncertainty of when the axe falls.

Incorrect sir, my 4mp sony s85 looks awsome at 11x16...much less 8x10. Your problem is the plastic lense my friend.

Fatdog..what do you mean by that lol? Scanned photos suxor..u can see all the hair and dust and it is impossible to clean it properly unless ur in an Intel Clean room.

CheapArse..what printer did u use to print the photos out?

Here, I found some good photos, although not nature. Will still show the best of your printer's ability.

Only 4 MP, but the 8x10's I've printed have been great.

Look at the rose in particular (PICT0019) and the first two pics on the list are pretty decent too.

doesn't dpreview has sample pics(full res) of every camera they review? I'm sure there is a review of a high quality cam.
