I agree that that is very impressive.

No, and it was actually only a holiday snap. I'm not sure I put that much 
effort into getting it 100% right. And I was only able to scan the 9 x 6 print 
in at 720 dpi, which doesn't really do it justice, either.

But I've never been able to do "my own" tests with quality digital images 
before, and I'm impressed with what they can do.
