Can I print a 16X20 using EOS 10D

Hello everyone, I'm being requested 16x20's lately and I wanted to know if I can get it using the EOS 10D, without compromising the quality too much.
Does anyone had tried that?
Please let me know.

I don't have that camera but another 6mp DSLR (Fuji S2). Try it, you'll probably be surprised how good it is - much better than I've ever gotten with 35mm. This assumes that it's either shot in the highest quality jpeg or RAW and the file was handled correctly in Photoshop, etc. Just like with film though - the bigger the print, the bigger any problems will be magnified.

ive done it a bunch with my d70.if you dont know what your really looking at,i think your customers or friends will be impressed.most of the time i use a tripod or atleast a monopod when i know im going big.highest resolution,no cropping if possible.i sell alot of baseball tournaments,and oferr a 16 x20 for a few dollars.

You guys are really helpfull, I'l give it a try when my 10D gets home.

I've been wanting to do some larger prints (8x10 would suffice) from my 300D, and this topic reminds me of just that. Where do you guys get your pictures printed? Or do you do your own (if so, what type of printer do you use)?

So far, I've had my drebel for about a month now, and I've only printed maybe 5 at the Rite Aid down the street. They charge 29 cents for each 4x6. But that's all I've ever printed. They have one of those Kodak print stations, and I just pop in a CD and print right from it. The quality has been okay, but I don't know what it would look like at larger than 4x6.

My question: Is there much of a difference in where you get it printed? And if so, where should I be going for the best quality print jobs from my rebel?

Also, the 4x6s I did print ended up getting cropped off from the original (which I sent through the print station at the original size of 3072x2048 pixels). How can I be sure that the prints include the entire image?

i find the best place to get digital prints is SAMS.they are 18 cents for a 4x6 print,90 cents for 5x7,1.90 for a 8x10, bring it on a disk ready to go,do it yourself or tell the rep to print what u want.they run nice fuji equipment,and i find them the best on the street,by far.i use them a whole bunch.

You should check your local shops. There's a pro shop by me that allows me to download my images. Then I just pick them up the next day. The have the option of a dursk labda or fuji frontiers.

Besides supporting your local business man, if there's a problem they'll fix it right away. This is not so easy to do with out of state web services.

I do print my own also. However, I tend to like to use the shop when the images aren't for my own personal use. Mainly because they shop makes actual photos on photo paper. This stands up much better to finger prints and general handling than inkjets. Try and wipe a thumb print from an inkjet print!

I will soon be buying a Canon 10D, and would like to read your comments on how much of an advantage (if any) a Compact Flash card with a speed rated at 80x (12MB/s) vrs. a speed rate of 45x... (Is it worth the extra $80.00?!?) Thanks!

i shoot with a ultra II 512,and a ultra II 1 gig.they work great in the d70.d70 has quiet a large buffer.you can 3 round burst for a while in the rt conditions.

I own the digital rebel and have sucessfully elarged to 16x20 without any visable quality loss. The lab that I use also has a portrait studio and they shoot a 10D with a sigma zoom and they have several poster size 20x30s on canvas displayed and they are gorgeous. Im sure there is some touching up in photoshop but the results are amazing. Just be sure to crop when shooting you cant afford to loose any pixels! good luck!!!

I did a 16x20 with my G-2 (4 MP), shot in RAW mode, and it was great. I also did a 16x20 with my D-30 (3.2 MP) and it also turned out great. So, yes, you can do it. Shoot in RAW mode, convert to a TIF and don't crop it and it will be fine.

We have 18x20 studio portraits of our full mouth treatment patients to grace the office walls and reception area using the 10D (we have a studio in the office as well). I've also got a 20x30 print hanging in one of my operatories shot from the 4 Mp EOS 1D that is as good or better than anything I've shot on 35mm using the same "L" lens and EOS-1V body.
