Lets say you have two photos, they are the same photos. one is a 13.1 MP and the other is shot with a 24.6 MP camera. Will the high MP camera offer the best quality? If not, what offers the high quality that makes photos look like glass, HD, the best of the best?


Answer
Yes and no. In today's cameras, the answer is largely no. But the answer is not simple. There are many factors that affect quality. Some have already been mentioned. Not mentioned is that sensor technology has improved in ways that are unrelated to pixel count. An 8-megapixel sensor today (if you can find one) will be much better than the same size from five years ago. As a general rule, the more pixels you have, the less light there is to share between them. This harms low light performance. However, the technology has improved so that today's sensors use the light more efficiently. Another factor is the quality of the in-camera processing before you even see the image. The more expensive cameras have more powerful processors and better software.

So it would be a mistake to purchase a camera solely on a comparison of the megapixels.

I can't leave the topic without mentioning that by far the greatest factor in quality photography is the skill of the person holding the camera. Most people who buy cameras today do not have the skills to take full advantage of the camera's capabilities. Another way of looking at this is that it won't be your camera that will limit the quality of your work. It will be you.

Would i still look as good as i do in a diff camera?10 POINTS?

I have a 5 MP camera. And look alright, but I'm guessing that I would look worse in a better higher MP camera, I look best in the mirror, better than I did on cam. Also is it bad if I only look good in a well lit area, or just descent?


Answer
Flip UltraHD Video Camera - 2 Hours (3rd Generation) NEWEST MODEL is a powerful, easy-to-use, fairly cheap video camera; it records @ 1280 x 720, 60 FPS, and can hold about two full hours of video at that capacity. It fits neatly in a shirt pocket and is pretty much ideal for recording anything that doesn't need to be professionally produced film, from home movies to recording interviews. It comes packaged with a basic editing program that's designed to make it as easy as possible to produce basic home movies and post them to the web.

I'm looking to buy my wife a new camera because she's well overdue for one. I've been researching and I'm highly interested in the Nikon 1 series. I just don't know exactly which camera I want to get her. I basically want to get the most bang for my buck. From my understanding the quality goes from the S series, to the J series and then the V series being the best? There's a special going on at many places right now for the Nikon S1 with a 11-27.5mm lense and then a 30-110mm VR lense for like $600. I was wondering if that's a good deal or will paying the extra money for a J series like the J3 and an extra length lense worth the money?


Answer
First, anyone calling mirror-less cameras "... glorified point & shoots ..." shouldn't be taken too seriously. Yes, there are some on here who spend a great deal of time gnashing their teeth and wringing their hands criticizing mirror-less cameras while apparently forgetting that at one time in the history of photography all cameras were mirror-less. They were called view cameras and used sheets of film such as 8x10 or 5x7. Later, after the invention of 35mm film, rangefinder cameras were introduced. The Leica brand was the gold standard of rangefinder cameras. (Note: Many who now denigrate mirror-less cameras were, a few short years ago, equally dismissive of DSLR cameras with Live View and video capability.)

Look at this article:
http://www.shutterbug.com/content/photography-orest-macina-seeing-magic-macro Look at the images. Now look at the awesome, sophisticated cameras he used to make those images - an Olympus SP-565UZ and an Olympus FE-370. In my opinion having your images published in a major photography magazine when using such relatively humble cameras says a lot about mirror-less cameras and point & shoot cameras and definitely proves that "It isn't the camera its the photographer."

So if you've read reviews of the Nikon 1 models and looked at examples of pictures made with them and find them satisfactory then let your budget be your guide.

I want to buy a lense for my Nikon D5100 but I don't understand anything from all these camera terms?!?

THE TYPES OF PICTURES I WANT TO TAKE: I really want 2 CHEAP lenses 1 for landscape (so wide-view) and 1 for portraits or such thing. Mainly, I will be taking pictures of people, beautiful places, etc. I don't have a big budget and I am ONLY a beginner photographer, so I'm only looking for 2 lenses that are better than the one that comes with my camera. Thank you in advance! :)


Answer
Hi,

It's all easy to understand, so don't worry. Lenses don't understand beautiful places, bad places - they're either made out of good quality glass and then it depends on your skills.

Lenses I recommend are 10-24mm, 18-105mm, 55-200mm and more.
