How many megapixels are really necessary?
I’m looking into getting a little bit better of a digital camera and was looking into a digital SLR. I was looking at a Canon Digital Rebel/350D which is 8.0 mp. And the Nikon D40/50, either of of which is 6.1 mp. Would that extra 2mp make such a big difference in picture quality? The reason I am looking at these two is because I already have lenses that should fit either one.
The MP will make a difference in your LARGER prints. 6MP will give you professional quality 8×10 prints and 8MP will yield 11×14 or so. I am talking about ‘better than analog quality’ style photos when I mention the above.
BUT BE ADVISED, the PRINTER you choose for enlargements will be even MORE IMPORTANT! Either choose an outside service of get a PRO printer ($300-$500) with high quality ink.
No need worrying about the Megapixels unless you plan to actually create some professional-style use for the photo… (i.e. printed and then framed, etc.)
FYI. The new CANON Rebel is a GREAT camera!
