[pct-l] Thinking Outside The Pack

[G. Lowe aka Wheeew]

Cool.  Yes, I didin't know that more pixels didn't equal better.  I thought the lowest number of pixels to get was 8, so this is a pleasant surprise for me.  I can start looking at cameras I wouldn't have considered before.

 A:  Not necessarily, unless you're cropping in tightly on images or making poster-size prints.  More megapixels usually translates into more picture detail.  But beyond 5, you're unlikely to see the difference, even with 8x10 prints.  Our advice: a 5-megapixel camera should provide all the resolution an average person needs.  For posters, get at least 7 megapixels.

 Switchback replies: All I can say is the the Long Suffering Mrs. Swithcback has a poster size making printer and an 8 MP camera.  She has won Honor Mention in some photo contests with this combination.  She has her own "dark room" set up in our house and is really into photography.
