A interview give or take a few digital resolution?

I've been using a 4 mp camera for several years. I only just purchased a 10.2 mp camera and have notice some difference in the resolution when view on my computer monitor, but less than I have anticipated. I was expecting the photos to be much sharper. Was I expecting too much, or does the highly developed resolution only show up when the photo is printed?


Answers:    Well, the sign size is there because a 10.2 mp imitation is just plain bigger than a 4 mp symbol.

However, as you have discovered, resolution, to be exact things resolved, may not be dramatically increased. There's all kind of variables involved, from the lens quality, to the sensor ability, to the supporting processing chips.

Moreover, above 7mp on a point and shoot, additional photosites fire up to interfere with respectively other, inducing not only more photograph noise but also issues beside diffraction, which can rob images of sharpness.

Printing can provide you a useful comparison, but at most logical print sizes (5x7 and smaller), you won't see a difference between a 4mp and a 10mp image. You might see it at 8x10 and larger, but most relations never even print 8x10's.

In short, yes, you may have bought for a time too much into the megapixel hype and may have be expecting more than could realistically be delivered.
Mexapixel count is far smaller number important than lens talent. It's quite possible your camera have a high megapixel count, but a low part lens.

Check out what type of lens is on your camera and then google to find a review of any the camera or the lens. Try www.digitalcamerainfo.com
You should see some increase in resolution on your monitor when you zoom surrounded by a lot, but otherwise, you can't see it on your monitor.

Your monitor probably runs around 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024 pixels. That's a resolution of something like .8 megapixels to 1.3 megapixels. So your screen could just ever display about a quarter of the resolution of your aged camera. Upping the resolution isn't going to make any difference for viewing the in one piece picture on your computer screen.

If you zoom contained by to see the fine detail on the screen, consequently you should be able to see the difference. Or if you want to crop your pictures by much, (if you crop out 3/4 of the figurine or more) then you could see the difference on eyeshade.

It's worth making prints with an symbol resolution up to at least 300 ppi on a accurate printer. So your 4 megapixel images are probably almost 2900 pixels across, and 2900/300 ≈ 10", so if you want a print over 8 x 10, then it would be better to enjoy more than 4 megapixels.

While the 10 megapixel camera should have more adjectives resolution than a 4 megapixel camera, there's a whole lot more to statue quality than the megapixel rating. Unless it's an SLR, it's unlikely the 10 megapixel camera is video recording much over twice the "useful" resolution of the 4 megapixel, if that. Sure, it records 2.5 times as copious pixels, but each pixel probably contains smaller amount useful information (is more "grainy" or have lower local contrast), because the sensor probably isn't any bigger, and the lens probably isn't much better.
well..if you ever carry your 10.2mp pictures enlarged to like a, oh, speak 8x10..and compare it to a 8x10 picture from your 4mp camera..then you will interest the difference. Or if you crop a small subject in your 10.2 picture and print it or of late look at it on the computer..trust me, there WILL be a diference between the 4mp and the 10.2mp. :) and yes the pictures from the 10.2 mp camera are sharper..
