Re: digital cameras and qaud printing

Of Course !!

I have an Olympus E-10 4.3 MP digital camera and have made
excellent quality BWs up to 12x16.

As a reference, I am now scanning 645 format Tmax100 at
2000 dpi = filesize 21 MB and print them to 16x20.

Depending on the subject, the E-10 output can print to
16x20, but usually, 12x16  is the max.

Best,
Alex
