also be good . . . The last thing I would suggest if you are shooting
serious pictures is to capture and save them as 72 dpi . . . "
------------------
With all this discussion of file resolution, I feel I should point out again
that *files* don't really have a "resolution". That is an attribute that's
assigned when the file is printed or displayed. Files have size (in pixels),
and a 3000x2100-pixel file can be 300-dpi(ppi) ("hi-res") and be reproduced
at 10"x7" or it can be 72-dpi(ppi) ("lo-res") and be reproduced at about
42"x29". There is nothing about an image file that makes it hi-res or
lo-res. The same file can be hi-res or lo-res depending on the intended
output size.
