So a 3 megapixel camera has a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536, right? The maximum size of a 4 megapixel camera (or at least, MY 4 megapixel camera) is 2272 x 1704. Er, anyone want to do some maths and figure out what the DPI would be on them at, say, 7 x 5?

We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid.

Assuming an ideal DPI of 300, a 7x5 would need to be around 2100 x 1500, around the realm of three megapixels give or take.

So a 3 megapixel camera would be fine for 7x5s if you're not going to touch anything.
I'd suggest going up to a 4 megapixel, just to give yourself some breathing room. Besides, cropping is really easy, and can dramatically improve some pictures.
And the price difference between a 3 and 4 megapixel camera isn't really that much anymore.

Well Liam, I use both memory sticks in either/or the Sony Clie handheld and the Sony Cybershot digicam.

A 256mb card will give you over 100 pictures at maximum resolution on a 4 megapixel card (which is 2272 x 1704). I'm not sure what the price difference between that and a 128mb card is, but are you sure you need that many?

We have a motto: If your going to do it, do it right.
It's not too bad, about a $30 difference.
Besides, we're taking a 2 week trip to Italy and while I don't think I'll take and keep that many pictures, I'd hate to run out of room on the card.

I remember skimping and getting a 16 MB spare card for my digicam when I bought it. Bad decision. Not even sure where that little card is anymore. Useless. I got a 64MB card a week later. Always better to have too much than too little. Unfortunately, I've yet to learn that this isn't supposed to apply to milkshakes and cookies.

Looks like you have gone the right route. Kodak is getting out of the 35mm film business, I wonder how long before Agfa, Fugi and other companies follow suit.

There will ALWAYS be a market for film photography. Plenty of artist and commercial applications still work better with film, to say nothing of all the countries that simply don't have the computer access necessary to make it feasible. Film ain't going nowhere, though admittedly it'll become a small niche market.
