The pixels have to do with screen resolution and nothing to do with dpi which has a lot to do with printing resolution. They are related but not in the manner you are thinking. Put it this way, a pixel on screen can be printed to 1200 dpi. So if you want better prints, you want to start with a good quality picture to begin with. If you are printing from a digital camera, you want to capture the most pixels and the highest quality that the camera offers. The setting should be on high quality and large size. |

Anonymous | thanks berny for clearing this up. the thing is i only have the printer but not the camera. i am looking to get one. How many mega pixel is recomened by u for my printer. which camera do u know of that is good for out doors and indoors. i like the pics to be crisp. im looking at two brands currently one is the sony and the other is cannon- the ones u can put in your front pockets which maybe 4-5mega pixel. or is there anyother brands u think will be better. thanks |

Anonymous | a little more than $300-500. price is not really a factor but i would like to take in and out door pic with family. i like something that will give me good quality prints and crisp. i saw the milota 12x thats about 4mega pixels. I heard this camera can gives bad quality prints. i may be printing a4 size prints too. other factor like speed is also important i like to shoot when i needed right away. thanks |
