Dave,

The resolution of photo graphics in a PDF file is not usually a function of 
the camera -- it's usually a functon of a trade-off made by the tech writer 
between high resolution and a manageable PDF file size. This manual if made 
with full-resolution photos would probably be about 30 MB rather than 3 MB. 
Most people wouldn't like that, some people would. You can't please all the 
people all the time...  :-)
