To get 7MP resolution, you need to scan at 2400 dpi. This would give you an image size of 3400 by 2200 (and 3400 x 2200 = 7480000 which is 7.48 MP, but there is always 'rounding' involved....7MP)
Can you verify that there are not larger images? There are those they deliver via the website, but then the full resolution version should come on a DVD.
Let us know what happens!

Food for thought: Canon has always taken the stand point that the camera's video option was first developed for photo journalists in the field and not for cinema, family or wedding videos. That has been their stance on all the 'negative' feedback on 'lack of abilities' (like mono audio for instance).
I also read an article that stated Canon was 'blow away' by the amount of interest from the 'cinema' industry, they said they truly never expected the interest to go past photo-journalists (in regards to video on camera).
My 2 cents, but I believe they would be working on better options (stereo, gain control, recording length, etc) for future product releases... As for competition, Nikon's new D3100 allows constant focus for shooting video (although reports say the video is much more grainy because of this).

I was asked this question many times, I'm answering it with my own experiences that are built with many discussions with Canon service reps along with what little data I have available. If Canon would be so kind to release data that we all could data mine for figures like 'number of repairs made' and 'issue repaired' on each model of camera they released, boy, that sure would be nice wouldn't it?
But they don't.
They certainly wouldn't want that info out in the public. So, I write this to share my point of view based on what little evidence and data I have. I make no threats, I make no assumptions, I say nothing to the degree of hating or otherwise implying I don't like my camera. I certainly didn't like the experience I had though!
Oh, and please don't forget the simple fact that Canon FIXED the issue. Would they spend the money for 4 repairs if they didn't see the problem? Wouldn't that be odd, to just keep sending me shipping labels at their expense (there and back) 4 times, give me a loaner even. All because they didn't think there was a problem with the camera? To soothe me over?
The difference between you and me is this:
I'm trying to help.
What can you offer to help people understand your point of view? Stating you are curious because people "like me" are threatening a camera. I can't think of any time in my 30 year history of photography that a camera model has had so much going for it but at the same time SEEMS to have such serious issues.
