For the poster to be just 2 foot tall means a vertical resolution on the camera of 3,600 pixels. So the camera you would need would need to be rated at 26 megapixels. Right off hand, I don't know of any consumer grade camera that has that kind of capability.

So smaller banners may be necessary or else a graphics shop that can extrapolate the raw data for the image to be printed. Of course, the file size of the image is going to be substantial as well.

I'm probably going with the Sony R1. 10.3 megapixels with 5x optical zoom. About the only thing it doesn't do is video. I was hoping to get that as well. I have a Sony Digital 8, but I wanted to get a digital camera that took decent short videos. I may pick up another small camera to have for that purpose. Sony is coming out with a 7.2mp camera with 12x optical in June. I'll test out the video function and this will probably be the one I use most of the time.

There was a package on ebay for the Sony R1 that included the camera, carrying case, remote control tripod, 2x telephoto lens add on (since this isn't an SLR), wide angle lens, 2 gig memory card, memory card reader, tabletop tripod, lens cleaning kit and a UV filter. All for $980. Pretty good deal, considering Sony still has the camera for sale by itself, on their site for $999. Here is a link.

I've got a Fuji FinePix S3 Pro camera for my stills. The thing that sold me on it (I actually had the S1 Pro previously) was that I could use all my Nikon 35mm lenses with the digital body. Does an excellent job. It's rated at 12.34 megapixels.

My Sony DVD403 Camcorder takes photos but I haven't tried that yet.

Glad you asked...

...I don't!

Only the 57 lives indoors right now. (It's the one that leaks the most!)

The 00 'vert is available for purchase in order to help fund the garage/addition coming soon to a yard like mine!

What you don't see in this pic is the rest of the nearly 1/2 acre we have available.

Nice collection Bill.

SebringBill, did you go on the 50th Caravan in the '57? Possibly with a tripod camera in the passenger seat? If so I remember you, and we all thought it was cool to see a classic out cruisin up to Bowling Green.

No, that '59 belonged to Mark Gustetter of Orlando. He is well known for taking pictures throughout Florida. Check out his car pic here http://cfca.net/cars/imagepages/image2.html
