Digital BW, The Print

Austin, I don't want to restart THIS war again. I'm simply delighted
with the quality of my D60, and lets just leave it there.  I use Fred
Miranda's stair step action to get the image up to 13 inches wide at 300
DPI. I do NOT notice any lack of quality whatever when re sizing using
this plug in. Maybe you could measure a loss with one of your hundred
thousand dollar instruments, but to my eyebulbs, there is no loss at
all. No gain either. I'm still at a loss to understand what you mean by
missing detail. I've compared many a photo print to an epson print and
always prefer the epson print.
In fact I'm selling all my other cameras now. for 13x19 prints, none of
them produce better prints than the D60. As good, sure, but no better.
And I just love all the advantages of Digital.

Jerry,

Lets not start another discussion over this, if you want, reply to me
off line.

PS. I'm sure the next generations with 12 Megapixels will satisfy even
you.  Can hardly wait for the D120.
