but forget about printing them even on the best printer-film paper combination. You have to get a good digital camera if you ever want to print out good stuff. Or you could print using pictures from your DV - but small 3.5" ones
I've got to say that pictures taken on my Sony PC-100 DV (stored to the memory stick that you talk about) print out quite well at 5x7. I even have a landscape shot of my wife and I printed on 8x10 on my desk. If you look closely you can tell it was not film, but some of the guys I work with were quite surprised by the quality.
Having said that, if you want high quality prints you need to buy a dedicated digital camera rather than rely on a DV to produce them. That's my next purchase--to replace my Sony Mavica!
