Good read. Would you suggest going for a higher dpi than 300 when the project is 1080i?

It would depend on the size of the image and whether you were going to do a lot of zooming. There may be cases where it would be appropriate to do so but, generally speaking, I still think 300 would cover a larger percentage of photos.

Remember, dpi is irrelevant. Instead, you have to look at number of pixels wide by number of pixels high. As long as you're matching or exceeding the video frame size (taking zooming into account), you'll still be fine.
