How bigs your wall? Do you live in a stately home with a 50 metre X 30 metre wall to fill or a bedsit in someone attic with not enough room to swing a cat in?
seems A3 or 16x12 is the best option (magazine opened up size). My job coatch wants me to put some of my photo's in a exhibition, thats very kind of her but i didn't think I was that good enough yet.
Is PhotoBox very good please?

Been told that no one buys cameras any more as people use their phones?
RUBBISH!
Not everyone has a smart phone because their stupidly expensive, and anyway, a smart phone cant compare to an SLR. The sensor on a phone is nowhere near as good, and the battery always dies just as you are about to take that wonderful shot.
It's certainly true that people who just want to take snaps without too much worry about image quality are getting satisfied by the IQ of their phone cams.
Ease of portability is important to people and if they can merge a number of functions in one device then all the better.
I hesitate to even call mobile phones, 'phones' anymore. Making phone calls is is a small fraction of their function.
And even though your correct in that a mobile phone camera can't compete with the IQ of a DSLR, it's worth remembering that in the modern climate of 'war on terror' nonsense, waving a DSLR about is socially unacceptable. Plus can you really practically take your DSLR with you 24/7 ??
So while I love my K-5's, I have bought a Nokia 808 'phone' as a compact. I like taking pics of everyday life and as, unlike a DSLR, a mobile phone is not viewed as some sinister terrorist tool by the Hi-Viz wearing Borgs and paranoid public, I can snap candid street pics with it which I wouldn't get away with using DSLR or even regular compact.
The Nokia also serves as a personal organiser, sat nav, MP3 player, notepad. I don't even use it as phone - I haven't even put a SIM card in it.
Of course I still use my K-5's on proper shoots, but the Phone cam allows to me get the shots I couldn't get with DSLR's.
So when you say 'RUBBISH!' please bear in mind that there's a lot more ot photography than IQ.
that is quite simply untrue, they would always price match other High st retailers.
