Re: 300dpi Camera?

For print work, 300dpi is about the standard for good sharp bitmap imagery at 100 %. It would be nice to be able to shoot at this dpi..

Eh... what benefit(s) do you see/expect from doing this?

My 3264x2448 @ 180 dpi can print nicely at 10.89"x8.16" @ 300 dpi.
I guess I'm curious why you think the output dpi in the EXIF
matters when I was under the impression it's the actual pixel count
that does.

Does anyone know if or when Canon will be coming out with a digital
camera that finally outputs at 300dpi instead of 180dpi?
