The SanDisk kiosks

Tumbleweed, if LCD booster technology can attain the equivalent of 15 million pixels in a 4 x 6 format that would indicate that it is unlikely these self-service desks will be obsolete any time soon. The quoted resolution of 15 million pixels yields a resolution of 4743 x 3162 pixels for a 4 x 6 format.

My 2.1 megapixel Epson PhotoPC 850Z takes 1600 x 1200 pixel images. This translates to a 4.5 x 6 inch format. (I am not sure what happens to the extra 1/2 inch!). The quoted resolution of the SanDisk kiosks is well in excess of this resolution.

I am planning to do some field research this weekend. I will take a CF card to Ritz Camera over the weekend for processing. They have added a standard CF adapter onto their emulsion film processor and are offering 15 prints (4 x 6) for $9.99. This might give us some idea of the results one can obtain with the LCD booster technology.
