Yup, Kodak has just produced the world's first 14MegaPixel digital camera....each picture occupies a nifty 8MB but thankfully the damn thing has a Firewire connection...all I can say to this is

I like the idea of the Canon's taking existing lenses

It's not overkill. At 10 megapixels, you're slowly approaching the quality of analog photos. Maybe you want to have a poster of your latest shot - try that with your 800x600 digicam
Now it only has to become MUCH cheaper. Print services, too.

my old 2.1 MP Kodak takes 1790x1290 or so, prints out perfectly on a A4 laser, looks better than an enlarged print in most cases. Not talking professional development of course, but then I'm not talking about professional costs either. 14 MP is for professionals who want to shoot posters, otherwise it's just madness!
Bring it on!

You're tricking yourself. A 3MP camera isn't much good past 5"x 8" prints, if that. Just figure 300 dpi is pretty good. Your 1790x1290 (2.3MP, so an overshoot there) would be about 5" x 4" at 300dpi.my old 2.1 MP Kodak takes 1790x1290 or so, prints out perfectly on a A4 laser, looks better than an enlarged print in most cases.

I'm just saying, I've produced some ****ing impressive prints off this setup, maybe it's just well matched (camera-->my photoshop skills-->printer).
Are you aware that most commercial prints are interpolated 150dpi?Look, I know you think the world of me, that's understandable, you're only human, but it's not nice to call somebody "Vain"!Comment

I agree with Agent31 that at present 'we' don't need 14MP considering present storage methods at reasonable prices. Just think how fast a sony mavica would fill up its 140MB discs. However, I know a ton of graphic designers and professional photographers that would love this. If you've ever had to do graphic design from a client's 800x600 digital shots you know their pain. Plus now you can say, I want to use that small piece of the picture on this layout and have it not suck.....Wikipedia and Google.... the needles to my tangent habit.

Guys we are talking about vas majority of users here. Not graphical designers. Not photo artists. About Jon Doe who buys the camera to take pics of his new car, baby or maybe trip to Brazil.
Anyway, its great to see how easy for them is to increase the CDD chip resolution, think that soon there will be no oldschool hardcore photographers screaming "analog is still the king!" left. Heh

The vast majority shouldn´t use cameras to begin with.
The output is mostly awful.
Luni, good luck viewing those "digital" images 50 yrs from now.Comment
