How many Megapixel is yo camera?
January 11th, 2007
The first question that is asked when you show someone a digital camera is
“Yo, mah brutha, what da megapixel on dat sheeznit?”
I usually answer that question with:
“Paaaa-leeeezzzzz. You betta recognyyyyyyyzzzzzzzzeeeee befo you get victimizzzzzzzzzeeddd”
What I am trying to convey is that we are beyond the megapixel count at this point. Unless you are printing BIG(not 8 x 10) prints, you WILL NOT notice the difference between a 3MP and a 6MP camera. When you look at the higher resolutions, 6MP, 8MP, 10MP, the difference is even smaller. Even if you are blowing up to a 30×20 poster, you are ok at 6MP because people view larger pictures from farther away anyway.
Next time you are shopping for a camera, do NOT look just at the megapixel. Look at the image quality, look at the build, consider how comfortable the camera is, then look at the man behind the megapixels and say:
“Muh bad, muh brutha.”
