Jim and Jim,

I was told by a salesman in the store (and we all know how little they
know), that for blowing up a picture to 4X6 or 5X7 that all I will need is
a 5mp camera. She said I would not be able to tell the diff between a 5
and a 7mp camera on a computer screen or photos, as long as i didn't blow
it up extra large.

Is this accurate?


IMO Yes.



Can I get by with a 4mp or will I see a difference between 4 and 5 mp?

I used to have a 3.2 mp Sony Mavica and the picture quality was great. I do
not think you will see a difference, but I am not an expert.
