Cheap 10-megapixel camera?

Q. I was reading a Magazine at work called 'Quick&Simple' and it featured a 10-megapixel camera that was at a lower price than most on the market. If I remember correctly, it had a 'CX' in the name. I cannot find this camera or the magazine it was featured in. Any help would be very much appreciated.


Answer
Here's a listing of cameras 10 megapixels or better:

I didn't see anything there with a CX in the name.

However, there are a number of very good cameras on that list; I would find something in your price range and go from there. Note that you should check for the most current prices, as camera prices change just about daily.

Among some good cameras at low prices the

Casio EXILIM Zoom EX-Z1080 and the Fujifilm FinePix F50fd

are both worthy of being looked at.

5 megapixel camera, good or bad?

Q. I am going to ask for a polaroid PoGo instant digital camera for my birthday and i have seen that it is 5 megapixels, when i mentioned this to a friend who is into photography she said that 5 megapixels is really bad quality, but then i go online and read that it is ok.

i just want a few more opinions about whether 5 megapixels is good or bad.

thankyou for any help :)


Answer
A 5 megapixel camera can be bad, average or good. Megapixels are NOT a measure of image quality, so anyone that tells you that 5 MP is 'bad quality' doesn't understand digital photography and digital image sensors. a given number of megapixels is only a potential for a certain amount of detail, that's it. MP has nothing to do with color, contrast, noise (or lack of it) image noise etc.

Early dSLR cameras were only 3 MP and they were used by pros for all kinds of major publications. I know nothing of the PoGo, so you'll need to search the web for not only reviews, but full size digital photos to look at. The quality of the image sensor and the lens will determine image quality, not the pixel count.

If anything, more pixels in a small image sensor is bad, not good. I've got a dSLR with 12MP, I wonder if your friend thinks that a 12MP 99 dollar compact is just as good. It isn't.
