aspect ratio for the panasonic Lumix Dmc-G1: Does anyone know if I can print wide format 16x24 with the aspect ratio 4:3?

You will only get the advertised resolution at the native aspect ratio. Unfortunately I am not sure what ratio is native to the 40D, but it may also have had a reduced resolution for the 16:9 aspect. The difference in 12 to 10 megapixels should not have a big effect on your prints, you can also crop from the 4:3 images to get what you would like - with of course the the same loss of pixels, but you may feel more in control of what you lose this way.

I use it for 11 x 17 and it works great, but yes it does print in A3 and A4.

I printed an 8x10 photo of my car in the daylight and it came out great. I took a photo inside the house with not so great light and it came out a little dark and slightly grainy. This was a 5x7 picture. I just got the camera this week so I am still fooling around with it. I'm working with Photoshop Elements 4 (5 on order) to see if it can help out with the low light pics.

Since the 1430 is not a scanner I assume you want to know how large an image can be printed. The width limit is 13 inches, but lengthwise it will print panoramas that are quite long. I have some prints (using rolled paper) that are 44 inches long (i.e.13" x 44"). Most of my large prints are typically 11 x 17 or 13 x 19, or in that general range (depending on crop) as these are more common paper sizes. Hope this helps.

Very interested in your method. I found that aspect ratio for original resolution is 4:3, which means that it will distort your image when the screen is 16:9. Do you experience the same problem when you use DVI to HDMI cable.

I'm very new to this, but 4:3 would convert to 18x24, so that would need to be cropped.16x24 would be 3:2 ratio, which the G1 has.The 16:9 is just a crop at the sensor. @2mp off the top and 2mp off the bottom to make it appear wider. Overall, it should be about the same, but the advantage is in the composure itself.The 40D specs show the native ratio at 3:2. That would be at 10mp. The specs I found didn't show other aspect ratios available.The G1 at 3:2 ratio is 10.4mp by my calculations. vs: 12mp at full 4:3. At 16:9 it is @ 8.9mp. If the 40D could shoot at 16:9 it would likely be less.I'm pretty new to this, so I could be mistaken. But I think that's how it works.

This camera uses a series of coordinated images made in "panorama mode" and 'stitches' them together to form the "pano". Once the separate images have been assembled they will be in one file that then may be printed through other software such as PhotoShop. At that point the print size is flexable. I have printed complete 'panos' on 8/5x11 to 14x17 paper. You should, with a little playing with it, be printing your panoramas relatively quickly. Stoney Truett

The D800 /E will give you an image 7360 pixels wide. A 240 DPI print (native size) will be about 31" wide. How sharp these will look and how much you can enlarge beyond its native size will, of course, be determined by the glass you are using. A poor quality old, off-brand quantaray lens will still give you a poor image, no matter how great the camera you are attaching it to. But I have actually gotten some fantastic poster quality images from the 13mm Rokinon f2.8 lens with the D800, and, of course, with Nikon lenses.

I have been researching this frame, and I have found that the aspect ratio is 4:3. Thought I'd answer even though it is way past January!

Yes it should. Most Panasonic camera's have a generic remoter port. I have had the G1, and have the G3, and it works fine for both of those. Primarily the DMC series has the same cable configuration. Even down to the Z series. Should not have a problem using this release. Highly recommend. You can even set a timer for when you want to be included in the photograph.

I don't have an answer, Scott, but seeing as how the 3-color cartridge is such a limitation, both in ink usage and in printing pure blacks, I wonder what the possibility is that Dymo will bring out a DiscPainter II shortly, with at least 2 cartridges. There's certainly room for them back there, and it makes a lot of sense. With my luck, they'll do it right after I buy the 3-color version. ;-)Thanks for your review. Re the dithering, is it really that bad when printing in high-resolution? Seems like at 1200 dpi the dithering ought to be minimal, but then I haven't seen one of these.

I print directly from my computer or from the chip in my camera and it prints very nice 4 x 6 prints. It should work just fine depending on how and what you hook it up to and how fast you want them printed.. Be safe and do a trial run :)

Does very well with 4x5 film but you need to use at least 1200 dpi resoliution and the result will be a large file. Scale at 100%. The default is 400%

I never got to detecting distortion. The lens did not work well with a GX1 I ordered simultaneously. I reported as much on my review of the camera. I have since moved on to Fuji X and haven't kept up with this. I recommend going to the Panasonic forum at dpreview. You'll find a link at the bottom of Amazon's page. Search or ask for reports on how the lens works with your camera. Enjoy the learning.

There are two settings. Original and Full. I use original, which means my 4:3 photos have black bars on the side. Full stretches and crops photos that are originally 4:3 to fit the 16:9. I use original, and keep all the original photo details, but will need to figure out how to shoot in 16:9. I'm sure you could also use other software to control the cropping and convert 4:3 to 16:9 keeping only the part of the photo you want.

I'd just like to second this question, as I'm facing the same choice myself right now. A review of the Panasonic camera says that unit doesn't offer a RAW image format, but it wasn't really clear if the image compression "noise" was only visible on printouts, or if it shows up on your computer or television screen as well.

yes, unless you are blowing the pictures up to about 36"x48" then you won't be able to notice any difference, given you're not looking at it from 2 inches away. anything higher than 6-8 megapixel will give you a decent print out up to 11x17. so don't worry too much about the upgrade in megapixels.
