Hmmm.  When I got my Coolpix 990, one of the first things I did was point
the camera at myself at arms' length and take a picture.  Looked at the
LCD.  Transferred the shot to the PC.  Looked at the screen.  Magnified it
to see what the level of detail was.  Then I realized that each bit of
stubble on my chin was *square*.

Got a banana?
