Thread: 120-megapixel DSLR

Only 0.12 Gigapixels...meh

There are other things that affect the quality of the image apart from the number of pixels.

The number of pixels is something that makes good headlines and advertising copy because a lot of people think 120 megapixels is four times as good as 30 megapixels. It isn't. It is only about twice as good.

Twice as good is a pretty significant jump though.

Mind you, perhaps other aspects of photography are the limiting factors rather than the sensor.

Eleventy times more than the human eye can see.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using AULRO mobile app

... and almost as good as film...

I hope no one emails me their 'snapshots' from that camera, 10 photos and my monthly mobile wifi account is blown .

(I hate it when I wait 5 minutes for a photo that someone sent me to download then I just delete it !! )


that said I know a lot of people with high end SLR's and they only ever take photos with their iPhone - go figure

That is probably because as some expert is supposed to have said, "The best camera is the one you have with you at the time".
