Re: [APML] OT: Nikon N90 vs N90s

Hi Bobby:
I've been enlarging to the maximum I can get with my Epson 1280 (12 x 19
inches) printer and I see no deterioration (pixelation, etc) of the print
when I shoot at ISO 100 or 200. This is with the 3072x2048 pixel, Large/Fine
JPEG mode of storage. Saves it as a ~2.4 MB file on the compact flash card,
so I can get 100+ images on a 256 MB card. Even cropping down to about 50%
of full frame, I can go to 12x19 with very good quality.
