I am an artist and want to take pics of my paintings. Would this camera work for that? How large could I make the prints?

This is a very good camera with both manual and automatic settings. If you know what you are doing regarding photography, you can take very good photos of your paintings, that could be printed easily at 11x14 or bigger with good quality.

Hi Sarah! I wish I'd asked this before I bought it!! It is a teeny, tiny little camera with a horizontal width of 3.5 inches, it is only 2 inches high and 3/4 of an inch thick. If I had known it was this little, I would have purschased it in a brighter color so I could see it easier!!! But do not be dismayed at it's size- this is the best camera I have ever had!! The pictures are incredible, the videos are amazingly clear and crisp, and it has more functions than my husbands proessional Cannon. The Sony Cybershot has a really cool function: you take a phot and go to effects and click on watercolor. And voilia! it will redo your picture to look like a watercolor painting!!! Very cool - I used it alot when taking pictures during the fall!! I hope that answers your question and gives you a little more insight. This is a great camera, and I think you will be pleased!

I have this camera and I really like it. I have printed pictures from it. I don't think you will have any problems printing pictures. :)

I'm going to say "yes". I scanned small old polaroids, 4x6 photos and up to 8x10. Once I transferred the photos to my PC they retained their size. However, if I choose to print one I can resize the photo to what I want. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can feed photos for scanning up to 600dpi. Quality's in the eyes of the beholder. Perfectly satisfactory for my purposes, which are principally archival. Not a scanner for high-quality professional image capture.

I get about 1000 max quality jpegs with a 4GB card with an XTi. The camera should be compatible with any current compact flash card. Storing ALL your irreplaceable images on one massive card probably isn't a very good idea due to possible loss so a daily backup method - laptop, portable image storage solution - is highly recommended.

I am not sure, I am working on this myself for Christmas presents for the family and saving them as JPEG 300dpi and I am not sure how they would print out, I am just hoping this works, sorry I could not be more help. I do know that so far I have scanned around 1900 photos of all types and at least I can save them all to a 16GB flashdrive. I have more to go so at least everyone can view them as a slideshow and they will at least have that and can hopefully print them out if they want to.

I agree with the other answers given. If you learn the features and how to correctly use this type of camera, you shouldn't be unhappy with your photos! I've had the camera for about 6 months now and although it is definitely a learning experience (it is not the same as using a point and shoot digital camera at all) it gives me fantastic quality images. I am actually hoping to start my own photography business using this camera.

it will depend on the clarity and quality of the original photo, if you have a great photo you get a great picture, should then be able to print to an 8x10

I am using it for jpeg photos. I have inserted an SD card and it worked very well. That is the only feature I have used.

a 60mm I use for flowers and small insect pictures. It would be OK for paintings.

I use it to take pictures of puppies. I think it would work perfect for what you are trying to do.

I think the camera used to output JPEGs at 5MB each... So I'd say somewhere between 400-600 if you shoot at full resolution.

In my opinion, this camera would work well. I have several cameras, from cheap to very expensive and this camera takes decent photos and video.....for the price. For passport photos, I think it would work great. It will take clear photos and it has a flash.

The camera will work fine, but you need to "focus" on an applicable lens, tripod, "soft" flash system, etc. to give you the resolution, clarity, and color rendering you want. You probably want something like a 50mm or 60mm macro lens or a 15-70mm zoom macro lens if they make them. As for the camera, 12.2 MP is more than enough resolution; you'll have to reduce that significantly anyway to post to a website. Just "thinking out loud", but hopefully it can help.

According to Leica web site, this is a 10MP camera. The number of pixels will actually vary with the image format you will choose on the camera: several image ratios are selectable, from a great 1:1 to 16:10. I don't know what your intended use for this camera will be, notably whether or not you will want to print on paper, but as far as I am concerned I only watch my pics on computers or tablets and haven't seen a reason to complain about the sensor resolution. I find this camera to be of great and consistent quality.

I love my camera! I've never really used it for that type of pics, but for me it does great. I took some pics of my brothers wedding, Kind of an indoor outdoor setting & I'd did great both ways. I think you'll really like it.
