Australian IT has published a great article today titled 'Pixel explosion' which attempts to unpack some questions around megapixels. Are more megapixels better?
WHEN it comes to the megapixels in digital cameras, consumers are inclined to embrace the age-old maxim: more is better. There may also be a little bit of "mine is bigger than yours" in the race for ever more megapixels....
"Pixel count is one very important part of making a good image, but it's also the size of the pixels, how much light they will collect, the image processing and, of course, the quality of the lens"....
In the race for megapixels, it's apparently the lens system that has to work hardest to keep up, especially in cameras with small sensor arrays, and large pixel counts. "In cameras like the Canon PowerShot PRO1 and the Sony F828 that have such small sensors with eight million pixels on them, the lens has to perform like there is no tomorrow," Poignand says.
