The Megapixel war !
Can we really count on megapixels to output a better set of photos?
Is there any need of those so-called higher megapixel stuff to really get the most out of our photography skills?
# It may be a great deal for wildlife photographers as they can crop a lot after the shoot to get the subject as desired.

It wont to be wrong to state that the quote ' more megapixel, better the quality' is the most common myth we come across!
Megapixels do have their part in the photography sphere but it is not what is responsible for the harsh quality of the photos one may get. A majority of people take megapixel in account to determine the quality of pictures. To make things clear lets start with what they are-
Megapixel is the resolution at which your camera clicks the photo and save it to the memory. A greater megapixel count helps in retaining the overall sharpness of the image when zoomed in or cropped. In simple words if your camera is marked with more megapixels than your friend's camera, you can crop the same image more than your friends without loosing much of its data. But keep in mind you cannot always show him off with the picture quality you get from your camera.
Yes, he may get better shots!

Then, what actually decides the quality?
Sensor size, pixel size,image processor, post processing and camera algorithms are some of the elements that account for the same. We cannot discuss all of these in a single blog but will take them in detail in the near future.
Do higher megapixels have any merits?

# You can get a large image with a lot of details in the pictures.
# If you like to get your pictures printed, you can get them as big as size of a wall preserving all the quality.
# It may be a great deal for wildlife photographers as they can crop a lot after the shoot to get the subject as desired.
# People who need to get even the minute of details in the photos need to have a larger MP.
Is greater always better?
Is greater always better?
# Large photos usually sum up into large file size. Your photos may carry a size of 30mb each (if you shoot at raw).
# It becomes quite a non-sense process to manage those huge files after you come back shooting and storing them isn't a cake walk.
# For people who love to stick to their old stuff would certainly not love the high MP philosophy as it takes a lot of processing power for a computer to edit large images especially if you have something old.
