In fact, there is considerable evidence that in the point and shoots, anyway, the quality *decreases* as the megapixels increase, mostly because of increased noise, but also because more megapixels magnify the effects of camera shake. Pogue is absolutely right. Most people do not get *any* benefit from having more than 5Mp and most of them actually take worse pictures with more. Thom Hogan pointed out that even with a DSLR, picture quality degrades for most people once you get above 8Mp. Most people shoot handheld and do not put the time or care into getting all the value out of more resolution than that. Of course, if you do put the time and effort into it, more pixels will reward you handsomely. But for most people it is just a waste of money. |
