hey great article. it is easy to be confused by all the different types of zoom, but you have made it nice and easy to understand.

The resolution is reduced only if you use the Extended Optical Zoom setting (a feature not found on all digital cameras) or the digital zoom. Resolution is not reduced when using an optical zoom. As long as you used the optical zoom, a 14 MP camera should be just fine for making enlargements for wall art.

Why is resolution (or pixels per square inch) reduced when you zoom in. I don’t understand that and am contemplating buying a 14 megapixel camera so I can blow up pictures to frame as wall art. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
