Speaking of off the wall, how about on the wall? While 5 MPs might be enough
for a 11x14 print, does anyone know how many it will take to put a decent
picture on a large screen wall hung TV, as that seems to be the only
sensible step for group viewing once we abandon slide film and slide
projectors. I have no idea how many it would take, maybe the present
offerings are fine.
