How good is a digital camera with a 3x optical zoom, and 10 megapixels?
I wanted to get into digital photography as a hobby, so I decided to buy a cheap basic digital camera to start. However, I’m worried that the camera I got won’t do very well. It has 3x optical zoom, 10.1 megapixels, I’m not sure how to tell how big the sensory is, and it has 4.5x digital zoom, but the digital zoom sort of sucks.
It’s a GE digital camera.
A 10 megapixel camera should more than suffice if you are just starting up.
1 megapixel = 1 million pixels
1 pixel = The smallest dot that can be put on your computer screen
With a 10 megapixel camera, you will have photos big enough to create posters out of it. I would also recommend not using digital zoom in the camera at all since that will distort your photos. Plus you can always do a digital zoom using a photo processing software on your computer.
Thanks,
