Digital
Camera: Making Sense Of Resolution
Area resolution is the
main concern when using a digital camera. This will tell you how
much data you have available and will impact the size of your image.
Some people think megapixels
affect sharpness. Sharpness is not necessarily affected by megapixels.
As few as 3 megapixels can create a sharp image and as many as 6
can result in one that is unsharp.
Increasing resolution
will provide more detail when needed for larger prints. You really
only need 2 megapixels for quality prints up to 5x7 inches. 3 megapixels
are good up to 8x10 inch prints and 8 megapixels for 16x20 inch
prints.
When purchasing a digital
camera, concentrate on the features you desire
and the megapixels will be automatically provided the more advanced
the camera you choose.
