Megapixels – Are they important?
Doing a bit of catch up on whats happening in the Canon and Nikon announcements it seems for some people MP is everything. Already posters looking for 26mp in a DSLR.
Kind of makes you wonder how large these guys generally print to. I remember seeing some brilliant exhibition prints 20 x 16 from a 6mp D100 a few years ago.
It would be interesting to see the sales figures for the new 1DS mk III at 21mp in the amateur market. If I was a pro in advertising therefore requiring mega sized prints I would be going the Hassleblad route, 39mp, for the larger pixels. Also the huge advantage of a bigger focussing area.
