megaweb said:8R is 8" x 10"
so for photo quality ( 300 dpi ) , the resolution is (8" x 10")x 300 = 2400 x 3000
which is abt 6 megapixel

Cos my school got a photo exhibition and the pics are supposed to be in 8R. Geez, means with my lousy cam, I cannot take part?

Take a good picture at full 4Mp, use the crop tool in PS and crop out your 10x8 (at 300dpi). I'm using a 4Mp Coolpix and 8R is done (AG-goers have seen that) without noticeable issues.
Ckiang is right, too. A few of my 4Mp shots have made 12R for friends and clients.
ckiang said:8R can be printed from as low as 2mp (1600x1200). With proper technique, even a 2mp image can do a decent 8R. 4mp should not be a problem at all. I've even printed 3mp at 10x15".

Actually, they are a bit over conservative. Then again, they are camera makers trying to sell you higher resolution cameras, so....forbytes said:Click here to see what canon has to say about Megapixel and printout size.
