Re: best photo resolution to go for when preparing images for PS 3

Hi Michael,
That was a useful comment, it sums up the situation very nicely. Before going for a Canon A540 or better I'm going to carry out a few tests, using my old A20 and viewing short DVD sequences on a friend's home cinema. I think what's given me false confidence so far is that although I like to start most movements with a still frame the frame's held for such a relatively short time that one is out of the blurry danger zone almost before realising it! But of course times will occur when I need to hold a still frame for several seconds - and anyway I've had cases where it's convenient to use the customizer to set up a small area of a photo as one's full-frame picture, rather than spend time in a graphics programme selecting and enlarging it. (I didn't realise plasma displays went up as high as 1366 pixels. Thanks for that information).

I should also point out that if you are burning your show to DVD, the
horizontal resolution of a DVD is 720 pixels, so your resolution
requirements may be lowered proportionally.
