What is the use of 10 or 12 Megapixel photo cameras ?

12 megapixel camera how many photos image

Q. Anyone any idea what the use would be for such a high resolution? Has it many advantages? I am about to buy a new camera and I want to know it it's worthwhile investing in a digital photo camera of 10 or 12 Megapixel.

Answer
For an average user, 10 or 12 MP doesn't make any difference. If you are printing 4x6 or 5x7, you will not see any difference between 4 MP and 40 MP! Mega pixels do not impact colors, contrast and etc. Mega Pixels come to play only when you want to print larger photos. More mega pixels is also good for cropping in photoshop. You you will get better pictures after cropping. For instance, you can select part of a picture, like a person and blow it out and romve everything else from the picture and get a 4x6 or 5x7 print of that person. If you have more mega pixels, you can even blow out the subject more and get a 8x10 or even larger print without loosing any quality!

(Cropping refers to the removal of the outer parts of an image to improve framing, accentuate subject matter or change aspect ratio)
