How large a print from this 16MP camera? I need 30x40 or even larger without pixel distortion.

Very doubtful, as this camera's sensor is 1/2.3 (5.76x4.29 mm) which is the same size found in many smartphones. A 35mm (full-frame) has an area that is 35 times larger than this sensor size. The problem with a sensor this size and a high megapixel count (12 MP or more) is that you end up creating a lot of noise from these microscopic pixels. After certain point you can't help but have a lot of pixel distortion. I've done 8x10 and 11x14 but after that I'd have to resort to using my DSLR to get up there.

The general rule of thumb (ignoring everything else) is that a full detail photo should be roughly 300 dpi, but can go as low as 150 dpi. Even if the image from this camera were perfect detail at 16 mp, you'd only be looking at a 16.4 x 10.8 inch print @ 300 dpi (or 32.8 x 21.7 inch @ 150 dpi). This is without taking into consideration the particular image quality issues an entry-level camera can have. It sounds like this camera wouldn't fit what you need.

I very seldom print pictures and only view pictures I have taken on a monitor or TV screen. Sorry I cannot be of further help.

I have gone up to 20x30 poster prints from this camera with images taken at the maximum resolution of the camera. They start to become a bit low in clarity at that size, and also color saturation suffers. Since you don't normally look at a photo that size from close up, they look OK on the wall, but BARELY. 11x14 looks pretty good. So, I would say this camera would NOT be suitable for 30x40 or larger.

The largest picture I had gotten with 16 mega pixels is 8x10. I do not know what the pros say but 8the doubt that they would say you would get a good picture that size. You would likely need a DSLR to go that large.

I have made 8x10 prints from images this camera captured. The prints looked fine to me; I have them hanging on my wall! Many of the camera's settings will factor into the quality of the print. Very few cameras are fool-proof, and this one has advanced features that should be employed to create the best image for printing.

So far, the biggest I printed is 35x52 canvas and it came out perfect. I just ordered 40x80, waiting for how it would look :)

have a great zoom! and crop I didnt search for it, I'd like the picture as raw as possible, then i'll modify at the Destop PC. Also have a great focus and great night pictures, if u wanna some example what I want to explain check this picture! https://plus.google.com/photos/112840903503404504761/albums/5958573131404525569

My first thought was NO, you can NOT do it...but then I decided to test it. I scanned a wallet size picture (3-1/2" x 2-3/4") and I got a file of about 480x680 pixels or 40 Kb. Then I doubled that (Irfanview program) to 968x1364 pixels or 518 Kb. I was surprised of the still great quality. No, I did not print the picture because there are so many other variable in printing a picture...but I bet you that if you took that 518 Kb file to your drug store, they would be able to come up with a pretty good 8"x10" hard copy...or a 5"x7" at least! This little guy can do many more amazing things, like I was able to speedily push thru it about 1,000 hard copies and saved them all as digital files and passed them along to many family members. "Upsizing" a picture file is not hard (or perfect), but you need to be handy with computers and have some FREE software, like Irfanview. If you have an "All-In-One" printer, scan the little pics (to a JPEG) with it and see how it goes. The advantage of the Pandigital is the ease and speed with which you can feed many pictures and negative films thru it! (Not any greater quality of scans, compared with the "All-In-One"s) They both have 300 dpi resolution. Plus it sells for a great price :-)

I just scanned a one-page document and the image saved at 300 dpi was 49kb.

To be honest I do not know. I've only used jpegs, but I know there are many options for pixel quality & much more.

try changing the settings on your computer. start at the print preview. I have also found that if i start on a page (i have windows) as a letter, attach the picture in the body of the letter, i can then change the size, location, and even the horizontal, vertical dimensions. let me know if that works for you.

my old canon 6 mega pixel can do a nice 24 x 36.....which by most consensus it shouldn't!a 14 mega pixel can do 11 x 14. I'v no problem doing 16 x 20 with my nikon p500 which should be a 12 mega pixel...it's in another room and I'm feeling lazy. hope that helps you

Does very well with 4x5 film and really good with 6x6 film etc. but you need to use at least 1200 dpi resolution and the result will be a large file. Scale at 100%. The default is 400% which in my opinion gives worse results. I would save as a compressed tiff. or at least the largest resolution JPG that you an. You also need to make sure the you uncheck the option for sharpening.

Anything more than 10 megapixels or so for Point and shoot cameras is pure fiction. Just sales hype for those small sensors. 12 megapixels on the P 7700 is outstanding for its class. Allows large Print sizes with great detail. So go for this great camera!

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.

Sorry, I didn't keep it long enough to try that. All I know for certain is: it will project a GREAT photo up to a 24" X 30" display size. Nothing larger without blur & pixelation.

Its not the format but the pixels. size should be 1366x780. You can also set the display to Stretch to Fit but pneumonia smaller pictures it will blur the picture. Larger pictures look n fit best unless you have a picture editing software (Photoshop) that can expand it without losing too much

Id recommend 150 dpi you can get hi res photo's off the web however most photos on the web are 72 dpi and would look poor.

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

standard print is 600 X 600 with settings to enhance to 1200 X 1200. this is excellent resolution. Just google your questions. You can almost always find answers quickly by doing this.
