12.8 MEGAPIXLES?????????? Outta curiousity, are you ever going to use that? Lol. I mean, our computer monitors can only display a certain amount, and unless you have an insane printer, you can't even print that quality. Just curious...

Nice ride btw.

Correct me if I am wrong, but my point was that even if the camera was a 24 megapixel digi cam, our computer monitors can only display a certain amount of pixels at a certain size.

Unless your blowing the pictures up for a billboard, I'm pretty sure my 6 megapixel digi cam will display the same picture on all of your computer screens.

Correct me if I am wrong please.

Your 6mp camera probably doesn't have all the nifty tech's that Frisco's camera has or the manual settings or anything like that.

I can't wait until I have enough cash to get a dSLR.

That's not my point though. I was asking about the megapixles specificly.

Duh.
I run 1920x1440.
If you multiply that out you get 2764800. So that pretty much means anything that's 3mp or higher will cover up my screen.

OK, but your computer will not even display 3MP. The most pixels that will fill your screen is 2.7MP. So again, as I said in the beginning, unless you plan on making a billboard or you plan on printing out the pictures on a super duper printer, you're not going to get the true 12.8MP so what is the point?


The impact of the file of the amount of megapixles that a digital camera can take has an impact on the printing of the picutre. The impact is related to how big you want to print the picture.

True, but that's akin to saying that any car with more than 80hp is useless, because that's (I just pulled that number out of my head, it might be lower, but probably not higher) roughly the horsepower you need to go the speed limit.

12.8MP is pointless unless your making a billboard or something of that sort. You can't view 12,800,000 pixels on your computer screen. It's completely different than your little car scenario because a car with more than 80HP will benefit to the point where obtaining the speed limit comes easier, going up a hill is easier, etc. Now, since you're computer screen cannot display 12.8MP, there is no way to benefit, unless you have a super printer or are in the ad business or whatnot. Which is why I asked the original question, Ricky.

With more mp, you can crop pictures easier.

Stop clowning my 80hp BMW
But yeah, you can make the argument that mp isn't needed, but the better quality camera will most likely come with better quality parts to take better pictures.

I doubt you'll find a 3mp camera that can take pictures as sharp as Frisco's camera.

I have the older Canon 10D as well, which has 6 or 7 Mpixels as it is and didn't actually buy this so that I could make larger prints. The camera has a ton of great features and is a major step up over my old camera body in a number of way. The full frame sensor by itself was worth it and I have no complaints.

I see. You bought it for the goodies, not the MPs.
