    Olympus makes good cameras as does Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Canon, and some others. Any camera starting at 3 mega pixel up will give you very good photo prints up to 8 by 10 inchs. If you wish to print larger the max usable dpi is 72 dpi but for small prints up to 4 by 5 300 dpi is required. max print size for posters: pixel/72 = inches at 72 DPI (Dots per inch)
