I would say so. I used to have a 2.3 MP camera, and used to (before coming to and learning from DPC) print my own 8X10's from that, and was relatively happy with it. I do intend to go back and make an actual print file out of some of these even though I have a 5 MP camera now...sometimes you can't recapture those moments. :)

By the way, Welcome to DPC! I noticed a few of your posts. Glad to see you jumping right in.

I would just print them at home with my photo printer.
I have been satisfied with them, and they have lasted for 4 years already... that is not long enough to really tell if they are archive quality, but they'll do for now.
I am in process of re-doing my wedding album from 15 years ago. I will upload these to my portfolio here and have them printed by DPCPrints. I have ordered my own and other's photos from DPCPrints, and have been extremely happy with the results. In fact, 'Panache' is ready to be picked up today.. I had a 16X20 of it printed thru DPCPrints, and I had it professionally framed. :)

If you print through DPC Prints, you are supposed to get a good quality print at 150 dpi. Since most 2MP camers shoot 1600x1200 pixels, you should be able to get a decent 8x10 without resampling, unless you want to enlarge a small cropped area; then I'd just fill out the extra space with a border.

Try this it is only $19.90 and works great.

It increases size and DPI in very small increments as in the DPC tutorial. Sure beats doing it the hard way!

Thanks Karen for reply.Thanks GeneralE and Calvus.
Well this is the issue that is troubling me, i shoot at 1600x1200, after using marquee select tool in constrained aspect raio of 8x7 when i copy this in new image and than convert image size into 8x7 i normally get 145 dpi, so just wanted to would it be worth resampling for 300dpi from 145dpi .

well i am new here and dont know what DPC print are. I take printout from QSS machine( i don't the technical name)

Karen i saw you have olympus e-20, i found e-10 and e-20 amazing and thought of buying that , just wanted to know your views also are aperture f16 and f-22 possible
