What brand of camera is better to buy for larger prints?

Question by Surfr: What brand of camera is better to buy for larger prints?
I am not a big photographer, but I want a simple, affordable point-and-shoot camera that will let me make good 8x10, or even 11x14, prints. I've looked around at different stores and taken a few test photos, but it seems like every camera produces an image that looks good on the LCD, but when I zoom in to look at it, it looks rather blurry or pixelated. Which brand of cameras takes pictures that produce better large prints?

You might be looking at a smaller version of the photo taken by that model.

Keep in mind that point and shoot usually (except that weird Sigma DP 1) have smaller sensor v.s. a dSLR.

Try here: this is a 12 MP dSLR-a full size one.

Click on [all sizes] and click on [original] to see the full size.

another sharp one would be this http://www.flickr.com/photos/little_pooky/2691305849/

this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/little_pooky/2522671413/

and probably this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/little_pooky/2520715156/

These will print fine at 20 x 30.

p.s. I was able to print clear photos with a point and shoot 3 MP Panasonic camera.

Question by T E: Would a digital SLR gives a better picture than a point & shoot camera?
I have a Panasonic TZ3, a point and shoot camera, but I find that the photo color of my plants and flowers appears "washed". Would a digital SLR camera give a more colorful photo and if so, why?

Answer by selina_555
Yes and no. The bigger sensor as well as the better optics in a DSLR can and do give better results.

However, it still VERY VERY much depends on the person behind the camera.

You can put a fantastic professional camera in the wrong hands, and it will take lousy photos. A good photographer, on the other hand, can coax great photos out of even the simplest cameras.

Attend a class, borrow a few books on photography and read/ watch a bunch of online tutorials and you will learn a lot.
With some knowledge, you will take much better photos and you will know how to overcome (or at least realize) whatever limitations your camera has.
