Looking for maybe something scenic, but any sort of nice picture will do.

Anyone know what kind of resolution you need for an 8x10?

you mean like MP wise? ive seen great looking 8x10s printed from a 1.5MP camera

 

[daniel1113]

Well, for a decent 8x10 when viewed from a distance, you would need about 150 dpi, or a photo from a 1.5 MP camera.

For an 8x10 that resembles a mid-grade film print, you would need about 300 dpi, or 7 MP.

Some nice art work would be great too.

i happen to dissagree with you, ive done B&W prints up to 16x20 from 35mm film and ive printed 16x20 from a 6mp digital camera, the digital prints look better, ive printed to 32x44 from a 6mp digital and i would wager money you couldent tell the diff between it and a 35mm film enlargement of that size

actually getting a 35mm print that large woudl be extreamly hard

 

[daniel1113]

I never said anything about 35mm film... I'm talking about professional film stock, not consumer grade. 35mm is crap, for the most part. Comparing digital to 35mm doesn't say much.

you mean slide film? 35mm slide film woudl have issues at 20x30 or bigger as well

you cant compair digital to medium and large format because the digital sensor is the size of a 35mm film negative

 

[daniel1113]

So what? That doesn't change the fact that in order to produce an 8x10 digital print indistinguishable from a film print, you would need approximately a 7MP camera. The jump from 4 to 7 MP is much less than the jump from a 1 to 4 MP camera, hence the quality increase would seem minimal, but it would be noticable.

You're welcome to try the following pics. The resolution (only 4 MP) isn't high enough for a really great 10x8 but they look good enough from a distance.

Use up all your yellow!

If you want it printed at 20x30 with no pixelation, blurriness, and sharp as it would be with film, then yeah. there IS a noticable difference between 150 dpi and 300 dpi.
