Tony,
First, thanks for your informative and well thought out posts on this topic.
The above statement you made in your post makes me think that if I want to
be able to use my digital images well into the future I need to be way above
the 300 DPI because the standard is going to change at some point and higher
resolution will be required.
I have heard that there are instances where only an unaltered RAW format
image will be accepted for entry. Have you run into this?
I always shoot RAW images (I like the chance to correct any white balance
errors that I might make later).
I also cannot agree more with your statement about working native and saving
versions. I always save the original and then do a "save as" and start my
editing. I want to have the original source material.
Thank you again,

I think 96dpi is important for projection with the new higher
resolution projectors.

Like the chart I uploaded shows, dpi is a product of the megapixels
and size of the printed image. You can have 600 or 900 dpi in a low
resolution camera, if you have a very small "postage stamp" size
printed image.

Lee and others,
There is a difference between dpi and the physical size as Lee said. You could have a postage sized stamp image that is 1400 dpi but when scaled to 8x10 its 72 dpi (or exactly whatever it is). People often confuse the physical size, print size, and the dpi. They are all separate things that are tied to the image and when one is adjusted the others are too.
