I always used to wonder, why do we need a very high resolution camera if a 2 Megapixel is sufficient enough for sharing photographs. I just knew the fact that, higher the resolution the better it can be printed on a larger canvas. Higher resolutions can be used for poster size photography. Are we buying cameras with higher resolution to print posters? or is it just that we want to tell our friends that I’m having a high resolution camera?
Today I figured out what difference a higher resolution image can make. I was trying to edit my sister’s picture with some photographic tricks but I felt very difficult just because she has captured the image in an 1.3MP Camera. It was very difficult to fine tune many aspects. Then I just took a photo of myself and tried manipulating and applying some tricks on the photograph using some advanced photo-editing software. There was a big difference! It was easier for me to edit because of the finer details it had. The outcome would speak about it!
So if you are into any sort of image manipulation or poster creation, then only a higher resolution camera would matter you. I’d suggest 4.1 MP or higher for moment capturing if you do not intend to do any editing.
Wow! Amazing Pic! n gud insight 2 necessity of resolution…
