Photojojo.com emailed me this link today to a cool chart that shows you what megapixel you will need at the different print sizes if you want to print at true photographic quality. I think "true photographic quality" is subjective and hard to define, but this chart (and the other charts available on 215's site) gives you an idea of how big you can go when printing anywhere from 150-300 ppi. ***Click here to check it out!***

Thanks for the chart Mike.
Have you received my emails?
Have a great day!
Thanks for the post mike! :-)
I do gotta say, that's quite a stretch to say that an 8 megapixel camera couldn't print a "true photographic quality" 16x20...
Like you said, true photographic quality is quite subjective
Subjective is right. I've done 20x30 with an 8mb image and it looked..."fine". Obviously, the quality just isn't there if you put your nose up to the image to read very small text, but a beautiful reproduction, nonetheless.
Thanks for passing that along!
