Enough with the megapixels!

And so it is with digital cameras. Lots of people assume that a camera with more megapixels must take better pictures than one with fewer. The truth can actually, quite often, be exactly the opposite. And it’s getting worse. There are now plenty of rather cheaper consumer cameras out there that have 8MP sensors, because every manufacturer knows it’s hard to sell a five or six megapixel camera when your competitor’s shiny new 8MP model’s on the shelf for not much more money.

If you consider yourself a digital camera noob, then this article is going to be right up your alley. It clearly proves that more megapixels does not mean a camera is better, similar to AMD GHz vs. Intel GHz on PCs.
