ResolutionResolution

What you are going to do with your digital pictures dictates what your resolution should be:

Display on website 72 dots/inch (dpi)

High quality prints 300 dpi

If you convert resolution from 72 dpi to 300 dpi, your print size gets smaller. How small depends on how many megapixels your camera is. A 3.1 megapixel camera will make a maximum of a 5” x 7” print at 300 dpi

Good quality prints >150 dpi

You can get a bigger print with good quality by compromising on resolution. Walmart supplies a CD at 200 dpi.
