4”x6” and 8”x12” prints
By 4”x6” extract we actually mean that the original picture was resized to 300 ppp under Photoshop to 6”. The same process was used for the 8” x 12”, which shows a cameras defects even more and helps to evaluate the capacity to use photos in wide format.

Once again the least satisfactory picture is the Acer (CS-5330) followed by the Nikon S1. All others provide better results, with honourable mention for Kodak and Fuji, which have particularly well balanced colors. Except for the Acer, all are capable of producing 8” x 12” photos. Especially if you have a good printer.
There is no table as it’s the same as the previous page.
