the best thing is to ask the person you are sending the image to what size they want tin pixels and skip the whole 'dpi' thing...
Your camera doesnt really shoot at ANY DPI.. it is just tagging the image with that number for want of anything better. DPI is just metadata attached to a bitmap to give some guidance to the printer abut output size in case you happen to be printing it.. it isn't intrinsic to the image itself.
The only qualities a digital image really has is dimensions in x by y pixels, and the color depth...
but of course people keep asking us to send them '300dpi' images with no reference at all to how big an image they actually need...
I should just send them a 1x1 pixel image 'at 300dpi'
