What is huge??

I'm pretty sure your catalog is just as big as everyone else's.

There has to be a mix up somewhere between you and the layout guy or maybe its your printer. I know ours messed up our first batch of prints. Luckily it was only like 10 test catalogs.
 
Just measured ours its 8x14. Even still it shouldn't be a problem doing 14x14.

I have a print done from a friend that's a little bit smaller than a 14x14, I think its 12x14, and there's no pixiation what so ever.

Before you get new gear you should find out where the problem is. If your savnig your files out fine then its between your editor and the printer.
 
i was going to say you can get prints one that large with a 8mp XT but i've never done it. i just know the size i printed off came out just fine.
 
Hayabusa - How do you like the Canon 50 you got? I'm looking to get one for my XTi. How does it perform on the crop body?
 
i hate the 50. a friend has it. i'm a weird shooter though. like today i used a 70-200 f2.8IS as my walk around. i use my 24-70 about 90% of the time. i'd rather have a 85 f1.8.

That is one I was looking at. I also found a Canon 24 2.8. For a walk around I'm going to get an 18-200 I just don't know what brand. But I'd like the 30 1.4 Sigma and the Canon 85 soon after.
 
There's a photog in Bradenton that swears by his 30mm sigma. I don't really need a fast wide lens. My ideal setup for basically anything is Tokina 10-17, sigma 24-70, canon 70-200. Only the last 2 lenses are fast. You can hand-hold the Tokina at almost 1/5 at times.

Oh and I need to gain weight. I was trying to shoot some pelican's this weekend and kept being blown over by the wind.

18-200 best lens ever for walk around. When I had the Sony I had the 18-70 Sony and 70-300 Sigma and it's sucks to have to change lenses when I see something too far or too close depending on which lens I'm using.
 
What's the image quality like on those things though. I'm super picky, one reason why I got rid of my 17-85. It was suspect and would be sharp at times but not at others. And this wouldn't be at f5 and then f8. This would be at f5 all the time it would be weird.

your picky on quality, but yet you only own one canon lens?
 
The sigma 24-70 image quality is right on par with the canon version. Only thing I'm missing out on is weather sealing, kinda pointless because my camera isn't weather sealed, and USM. I'd love to have USM but for about a 1/3 of the price I'll take my Sigma. If the image quality was bad I would've sold it a long time ago.
