I don't understand scanners. I don't get it. I am extremely fat.
>35mm frame = 35 x 24 mm or 1.3 x 0.9 inches>1.3 x 0.9 inches @ 6400 DPI = 8818 x 6047 pixels>3 megapixesl is 2048 x 1536 pixels>8818 x 6047 pixels = 2048 x 1536 pixelsSo a scanner's advertised specifications don't mean anything, because the pixel density isn't the only factor in the density of the resulting scan. I have no idea how these guys are coming up with "2-3 megapixels" but maybe they indicate their testing process somewhere on their site and I just can't read or something.
