Thinking About Digital ... Please Help! I have been looking at the Canon 20D that will be coming out. How large can you go on enlargements with these images? 16x20? Will the images be sharp? Thanks, Tonya

It all depends on what resolution you print at, and whether you want to interpolate your files. The 20D is 8 megapixels, so it will produce a 24 MB file. If you print at 300 PPi, you can make an 8.5x11 from a 24 MB file. If you print at 240 PPI, you can make a print a little shy of 11x14. Personally I print at 180 PPI (and I have exhibited my prints in galleries and museums). At 180 PPI, you can print a 14 x 18 with no interpolation. Of course, the files from a 20D are good enough to withstand interpolation, so you should be able to go 16x20 with no problem. I hope that helps!

I agree, I routinely display 16x20 and larger prints with my 10D with great success. You, of course, must have good technique, AND not all images work well in large format. Best are simple images ... an apple is better than leaves in the forest. On the plus side, the 10D is capable of capturing a great tonal range. You will not go wrong with the 20D.
