» Best picture quality with 6 megapixels!.
It’s not true(!!!), we have to say when it comes to compact cameras. We, the staff of Image Engineering which is an independent testing laboratory that, amongst other things, tests digital camera for the German magazines Color Photo and c’t. Quite a while ago we noticed that the image quality of digital cameras was getting worse instead of better. The reason is that today’s sensors are divided into more and therefore smaller pixels. We want to clarify the consequences on this website.
A good look at the Megapixel Myth. More is not better. I’ve noticed this in a lot of the cheap P&S cameras. 12MP on a teeny tiny sensor just does not work. Given their calculations, APS sized DSLRs should be able to go 37 MP. However, the small cell phone sensors should have stopped at 2.7MP.
