Maybe taken with a disk camera.  megapixels are a lie :).  First you
divide by 3 because it takes three pixels too make a color.  If it
were a square image that would give you 580x580 resolution,  not too
hot.

The pro I know who really needed a digital camera bought a nice
APS camera and doesn't have any prints made, he just has the negatives
scaned.
