The one I

used for that cover shot was a Nikon CoolPix. I had to generally hold
the Nikon alongside my head to het the wide angle shots.

Film or Professional Digital cameras are good enough to be published???

Generally the shot must have at least 300dpi for magazine printing.

Fortunately, Tom was able to persuade them to use his 2 megapixel
picture, which is about 160 dpi. It takes about 7 megapixels for 300
dpi, and it's simply not neccessary if it's a high quality picture that
uses the full frame.
