I have a 2.1 mega pixel I can not tell the difference between there
pictures and the 35mm prints, but I have a PhotoSmart printer also I
think alot of the hype is like sound systems that have a freq to 40,000
cycles but humans can only hear 20,000 The human eye probably can't see
much difference between 2.1 and 3 or higher megapixel, but without the
right printer it won't help either.
