megapixels

Camcorder or digiscope for bird photography?

Digital Living A frame of standard-definition video only contains around 0.4 megapixels, and even hi-def video only contains 0.9 or 1.8 megapixels per frame. Digital camera resolutions currently range from around 5 megapixels to 10 megapixels or more.

Which camera for family snapshots?

Digital Living Six megapixels is pretty normal for a compact now, although you'll find some with higher resolutions. Many people think more megapixels means better pictures, but it's a game of diminishing returns. I would like to buy a digital camera.

Canon EOS 30D

Digital Living Is 8.2 megapixels enough for you, or will you be looking for more? The EOS 30D has a bigger screen than the EOS 20D, along with spot metering and more durable shutter mechanism -- but the sensor resolution hasn't been increased.

Can camcorders take great stills?

Digital Living Some higher-resolution camcorders are available, like the 7-megapixel Sanyo Xacti HD2 or Toshiba Camileo Pro, but most are closer to 1 or 2 megapixels. I'm new to the world of hard disk camcorders and I want to get one that can also take a good photo.

Why do Canon cameras have more than one name?

Digital Living You might also like to consider the Digital IXUS 850 IS, a follow-up model that has a wider lens and a higher resolution of 7.1 megapixels. With the help of your Web site I've decided my new camera will be a Canon Digital IXUS 800.

Is a film SLR camera better than a digital SLR camera?

Digital Living More megapixels don't necessarily equal better pictures, however, as the camera's lens and processor may not be able to cope with so many pixels. Which digital SLR camera would give me the same result, please?
