An 8x12 print under normal

Well not to disagree here on something that is surely subjective, but
I suggest that someone reading this should print a 3mp image at A4
size and look at it before forming an opinion as to the validity of
the above statement.

And it is important to start get the 3MP image either from a 3MP
camera or cropping from a larger image. Down sizing a larger image to
3MP will give an image that is far sharper then what a 3MP camera
could ever produce.

But even if you do dowm sample, a 3MP A4 print next to a 8 MP one will
look pretty bad, at least to me it does.
