That thread is a good pointer, but for me at least, I know what
dpi/ppi is... I'm a graphic designer. My question is, why does
Canon choose to tag their images at 180? There must be some reason
they chose that. Not that it matters I guess... it's just curious.

I'm afraid there is no good known explanation to that ... except maybe the additional Q why other manufacturers choose another value ?

Unless they would like to suggest the picture quality is sooo good that right out of the cam pictures can be printed at 180PPI resulting in huuughe Hi-Q prints ?
