A tutorial talking about the Megapixel myth with Digital Cameras. Simplified and modified version of The Megapixel Myth by Ken Rockwell.

[link] <-Ken Rockwell, "The Megapixel Myth
[link] <- NY Times reported blows up a 5, 10 and 13mp image and no one can tell the difference.

I need to update this description. With the right skills, and the right know how I got a 3.6MP image printed at 20"x30" and it is absolutely positively gorgeous. And that's when viewed from about 6 inches away, it's stunning.

Lol, naaah, def not, i mean really if you wanna get biblica, she ate the apple, and if the worst that we do is create the Megapixel... i'd say we can do a whole lot more before we've tied them. lol

Hahaha, the math doesn't lie. And neither do the prints. :D That's why the difference between the 10,12,14MP cameras is negligable. Also why I can get better prints from my 6MP D50 than my 8MP FZ-30. Lol but yes i'm sure i'll get a good bit of flaming.

So I currently have a 5 MP camera... But I'm starting to save up to get a 10 MP camera. Do you think it's worth the buy?

Awesome tutorial by the way! :)

:thumbsup: Finally the clear statement that it doesn't really matter if you have 7, 8 or 10 MP in your camera - the pictures still look the same. :lmao: Would you say that upgrading from 5 MP to 7 or 8 MP is worth the money?


:D Plus Happy New Year, 'O Tall One'. :party:

For just the megapixels. Definatley not.

However if you're upgrading to a SLR with that many megapixels then yes it's worth it. Not for the megapixels but for the other features. the lenses, significantly less noise in photgraphs, these are all valid reasons to change your current camera.

I went from 8mp down to 6mp and I don't have a second's hesitation. My images are clearer, edged are more defines, color tones are better coming off of the camera, i have tons of lens options, and most importantly the images I get can be printed larger because the quality is better, even though I had the 2 extra megapixels.

With Point and shoots even advanced point and shoots like the Canon S3IS, Canon G7 (even your G6), Panasonic F7-50, and Sony DSC-H2 which are all great cameras in their own right the megapixel difference between them is completely irrelevant. Color reproduciton, digital noise levels, and image stabilization are all far more important factors.

I'm actually working on a tutorial about the differences between Point-and-Shoot, Advanced Point and Shoot, and SLR digital cameras. I'm going to do it in the same style with simple, visual and mathematical explanation. That one will however take muuuch longer to write up i'm sure.

Happy new year to you too!! :hug:
