Bill,
Have to disagree with you on this one. For one, I print a lot of bigger
prints. When you can, and they're not that expensive, you do. I even bring
4x4 13x19 prints (the Epson printer driver will do it) and make poster size
prints.
The results, with 18 megapixels to play with (4000dpi scanner) are
outstanding.
The E-20, on the other hand, will make wonderful 8x10s and passable 11x14,
but not any more.
11 megapixels matches a 2800dpi scanner.
I want one :)
