What ppi does the Canon EOS Rebel XS capture images at?

I'm tied between getting a Canon EOS Rebel XS and a Nikon D60 but a major concern for me is the ppi on the images the cameras take.And I know Nikons are set at 300ppi but I wasn't sure about Canons.

The ppi (pixels per inch) or dpi dots per inch really means nothing. What? it only means something when you print or view on a monitor. There is no such thing as a dSLR with 300 ppi or 72dpi etc.

For example... Let's say you have a 12 megapixel camera. On the long side, the pixel count is about 4200. That means that a print, 10 inches on the long side will have about 420 pixels per inch. Make sense?

That's all it is. Until you print it or view it.. it all means nothing.

Where it does limit you is to a particular print size. For example, let's say you have a requirement by a photography class or client, and they want no less than 300ppi, that means you can only go up in print size until you reach that. That happens around a 11x14 size with a 12 MP camera.
