If you're shooting blind, let's hope you're not on full automatic. What do you
lose when you crop, Jeff? Any camera above 3 MP allows reasonable cropping. And
few people own a printer to use 8MP. It's a marketing joke.




Even a lowly 600 dpi on an 8x12 is 34,560,000 dots. Seems a few more
than an 8MP camera wouldn't you say?
