[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] I've heard that too. If you want to produce 7 x 5 photos (which is as close to any sort of "normal" size as you are going to get), I've been told that a resolution of 11xx x 8xx will produce slight pixelation, whereas a resolution of above 2000 x 1600 won't. And I don't think that a 2 megapixel digital camera can do that. Omega is right in that a 3 megapixel camera will probably produce photos at a high enough resolution for you to print out normal sized photos. However, going for a 4 megapixel camera will give you the extra option of being able to crop your photos and still print out normal photos. If you go with a 3 megapixel, and crop the image too much, you could get pixellation. And regarding the memory format, I don't think it's that important. Buying a card reader is a bit of a waste of money, when you can simply plug the camera to the computer via USB. Doing it direct will only save you a bit of battery power. One final thing: You'll probably want to buy an extra memory card anyway, unless your camera comes with 64 mb, and even then... A big memory card will allow you to have the camera on maximum options. I've got a 128mb memory card, and on 2200 x 1600 (ish), at super fine quality, I get around 54 photos. Which is more than enough, since I take a load in one night, then the next day I upload them and format the card. If I run low on memory, I have a quick scan through and delete any obviously crap ones, or (if I have to) I drop down a resolution. If you're planning on going out hiking, or being away from a computer for long periods of time, then more memory might be useful, but if not, it's not a necessity. [/QB][/QUOTE]
