 Having written this I just went into the kitchen and looked at the first ever of my shots I printed large (22"). It's a shot of the 12 Apostles taken from the viewing point on the Great Ocean Rd at dusk. Taken with a D70.

It"s probably a shot most of the guests we have comment on. Magnificent view taken at time when the lighting was fantastic. Neither the camera or the photographer had that much to do with shot (other than being there at dusk which was deliberate).

I would probably do better with post production now (dodging the front of the foremost rock, it's a little in shadow) but otherwise the photo is good, taken with a 6Mpx camera with dreadful high ISO noise. It's still a sharp shot which has stood up really well to being printed to this size.

We really are spoilt by what is available now, it truly is not about the camera unless you are shooting at the extreme edges (Long distance wildlife, long distance sports, ???)
