Not with the 3mp cameras. Most of the photo CD's that I got were less than
1024x768. I have a friend with one of the newer 3 megapixel cameras and that
is a cleaner image than I can scan off of 35mm prints. Of course, scans from
prints from my 6cm x 6cm aren't in the same game as digital cameras. You
would need a 60 megapixel source to compare.
