Yuri --

Megapixel count identifies resolution on the capture end. DPI is resolution on the display end. So, they're not strictly comparable.

Display resolution -- or the DPI of an image -- reflects the capture resolution factored by the size of the image. The larger the image with a set resolution, the lower the DPI. If your reference is to a manipulation program such as Photoshop, you can simply reduce the size of the picture to get the desired DPI.

DPI, of course, can be limited by other factors, specifically the resolution capability of the display device.

>Does anybody know how to compare digital cameras from DPI (dot per inch)point of view? I tryed several cameras having different "megapixels" but never got original images better than 72 dpi. Any recommendation to improve it?

>>I'm thinking about buying a digital camera and am interested in other people's recommendations. I want to stay in the mid-range ($200-$300) so I figured a 3 megapixel camera is probably what I'll end up with.
