thanks for the input, guys, and it is as I thought
Blackpool Transport has organised a competition to advertise the "finer points" of the town whereby the finished image has to be 50mb, which I presume would then be used for advertising purposes.
My mate's daughter is at college doing a photography course for A level and has been told by the tutor to take the photos at the camera's maximum resolution. Her dad questioned this and took the camera down to Currys where he had bought it for her and asked about it, a Canon 1200dEOS.
The Camera expert told him that the maximum they sell at the present time is a 24.5mb res camera, and if she wanted to go down the route of a much higher resolution camera then the camera would need to be a medium format camera at around 3K starting price.
Is this a ply by Blackpool transport to restrict entries just to professionals, I wonder, and to eek out the riff raff of the world with point and shoot Dslr's.
