A 16x24 print - if it is a good image - will be really striking.
Have you considered how you will hang a print, or mount a print, etc.
Unless you own the flat, the landlord may have some ides on what you can, and cannot, do.

Of course, your camera does not produce 7x5, or 6x4, or any other size of print either (Not an old Polaroid, is it).
What really matters is that the image(s) that you want to display are a match for the space that you have to display them in (or on).
One or two really good images, as canvas prints, might look better than a lot of smaller prints.
Now I can print any size from A3+ down to passport, but the one single image hanging on my lounge wall is a 24x20 canvas print. A decision on the second one is pending - have to live with it, after all.

Hi Aura
If you are going for A4 prints, you could start by figuring 1 print per three linear feet. Along a wall, or diagonally up the stairs, landscape or portrait, 1 per 3 feet will work fairly well for starters.
For A3, you could stretch this out to 1 per 4 feet portrait or 4'6" landscape.
Get some A 4 paper, make some A3 by taping two sheets of A4 edge-to-edge, and put them along the bottom of the wall the way the real prints would go. That will help you figure if the spacing works on your wall.
Then you have to figure out if the prints that you want need a little more space because they have a little more impact - can't help you there.
In the end it has to be a layout that you can live with.
Think of it like this - three real stunners well spaced is better than a dozen average ones all bunched up.

Canon? Love 'em!
Actually, I had a Canon i560 for years and years, and only replaced it when it started playing up a bit. (re-aligning the print head would work for a week or two, but then it started again). So I got a Pixma iX6550.
The A3 print capability is good enough for competition prints, the setup was easy (but very tedious) and it did not take too long to get the print output matching the monitor.
I looked at an all-in-one, but to get one with A3 would have taken more space than I had available (and the iX6550 is very compact for what it does), and I can copy direct from my existing Canon scanner direct to a laser printer. Fax I do not need (but I could get from either of my desktops).

From memory, it was 8GB - provided you have the later one, or the latest firmware.
I was never bothered, as I bought a batch of 2GB cards (and still have them) from that well known Channel Islands supplier.
Just make sure that you have an SDHC card-reader (if you download from the card) since a lot of PCs have only started fitting the inbuilt SDHC readers in the last two years.
Probably the real benefit of a large card is the ability to save in RAW and JPG for each shot, but on a just for pleasure" basis, I find that 4GB is a good compromise.

Reminds me of when my local paper (the Wiltshire Times) published some holiday photos taken by a reader that "quite clearly" showed some spooky white fuzzy objects (a bit like some UFO shots I have seen, well Wiltshire is UFO country).
They were also quite clearly the result of dust on the sensor - the sizes and positions were the same from shot to shot.
I think that most of the links AuraTodd has provided could have a more normal (as opposed to paranormal) explanation.
Two could be a person "out of shot" who moves during the time of fully operating the release.
One looks very much like the effect of a high-mounted spotlight.
One really does look like a double exposure.
That leaves one.

If this has come up before, please do excuse me.
Has anyone tried the Tmart split-image screen (currently on offer at only £13.06 posted.
I thought that this looked well worth a punt at the price (and when searching I found the same thing being offered by others - sometimes without the Tmart logo being removed from the picture).
Any thoughts/opinions?

K1000 (got it right this time) is now on its way to Kree.

Geoff

But of course.
That will teach me not to use the preview every time.
K1000 it is.

Thanks Peter

This has to be called a Spares or Repair job, because:
There is a small ding on the top of the prisn housing.
The meter does not work.
The wind-on lever is sluggish returning.
The lightseals and mirror foam need renewing.

But, hey, look on the bright side ...
The leatherette is good.
The shutter seems good across all speeds.
The focussing screen is unmarked.
There is no brassing on the corners of the bottom plate.

It can be collected, or sent to anyone who pays the postage.
