Bigger not Necessarily Better
Hey all,
I get this question a lot… or worse I get a smug look from some one’s uncle during the course of a wedding. I’m always asked about my gear and inevitably someone wants to know how many megapixels my camera is. I’d like to say, “it really doesn’t matter, it’s what’s between my ears that makes the pictures best…or at the very least the lenses on front” but I can’t… so I’m usually left to say 12 or 15 (for now 
). At this point someone has a cell phone with similar specs and they look at me as if I have inferior gear.
I’ve said this before on the blog. I’d rather have a 4 MP Nikon D2h over a 10 megapixel point and shoot. But these guys explain it better: Gizmodo Explains Megapixels.
