2, No
3, NA
I love these ruged gems. To me the 16MP is the perfect balance between resolution and file size for speed post processing. I do print on site service for some events. I teacher wirelessly on these shoots and the full resolution file transfer fast and make beautiful 8x10 prints. This the only size we offer for print on site. We also offer 11x14 and 13x19 for off site printing. And the files from these camera can print larger photos than that. My 13x19's have zero loss of quality. My next printer will be an even larger format.

Please just bump the thread itself next time, to avoid extra clutter in the forum (just reply to it). That way the actual thread will show up in members' news feeds.
