I have never printed an 8"x10" and probably never will. I use 1024x768 resolution most of the time and our 4"x6" prints come out great. Most people make the mistake of buying too much camera for what they do. I have a friend that bought a 5 megapixel camera a while ago for around $500. I have no idea why. it just seems like a waste of an extra $300. but whatever, I've seen people do dumber sh*t with their money. :)
