Hello, Victor

You are correct.  If it is a question of digital noise, you might try some
(very) judicious application of Noise Ninja.  If it is an excellent image,
there is absolutely nothing wrong with a small print, say 5x7", in a larger
matt, say 11x14 or even 16x20.  Just don't let any "technical" photographer
friends critique...their evaluation will be limited by the length of their
nose and the strength of their loupe--they will never see the image!!

Ken

BTW I still think "death rides the B train" is an excellent image.  FWIW you
might try a Canon 40D and a 28mm 1.8 lens.  A lot of freedom there, up to
3200 ISO, and not much bulk.
