Prints from Nikon D70

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.dcameras (More info?)

Does anyone know the maximum size I could expect prints to be from a Nikon
D70, 6.1 Mega Pixel (i think), with maximum resolution of course.

Regards

It depends on the printing resolution.
3008 X 2000 pixels full frame.
If printed at:
300 DPI= 10" X 6.67" (Best)
200 DPI= 15" X 10" (Good)
150 DPI= 20" X 13.33" (Fair to Passable)
72 DPI= 41.78" X 27.78" (Looks very bad)(This is screen resolution)

To see what you can expect, try Wayne Fulton's printing calculator.

Wouldn't the real question be 'How far away you intent on standing while
viewing the photo' then?

If that is what turns you on then by all means do it.
