How many megapixels would a camera need to resolve individual atoms?

Ken

Purely a hypothetical question, just say you were to take a photo and then zoom in on the raw image till rather than pixelation we are greeted by details at the atomic level - just how many megapixels would a camera require? (actually gigapixels would probably be a more appropriate turn of phrase)

Answer
Won't work - you'll run out of light befor you'll be able to see atoms.

As you may be aware, light has wave characterisitics, and (unless you do som _very_ fancy tricks), you won't be able to see anything smaller than the wavelength of light (and even with those fancy tricks, you'll gain maybe a factor of 10). As for the numbers: wavelength of visible light is (roughly) in the 350...700 nm range, while atoms are in the 100 pm (=0.1 nm) range (and below).

Next few problems: how will you deal with the atoms in the lens(es) and the air (inside the camera, inside the lens, between lens and object)?

Oh, and finally, the number of (mega)pixels is irrelvant for your question - at least unless you state the sensor size and focal length of the lens (and, if you want to be exact, the diameter of the circle of confusion).

How do digital cameras take the pictures?

megapixel analog camera image

D3V!N

I mean what causes it to memorize EVERY piece in that picture?
What is it that actually TAKES the picture?
What makes the standard camera different from a HD Camera?

Answer
When you take a picture with a digital camera the light strikes a digital sensor array, instead of a piece of film. These digital sensors are computer "chips" with names like CCD, CMOS, Foveon, or others. They take the place of a piece of film that must be moved across the focal plane of the camera. The digital sensor is made of millions of tiny sensor points called "pixels," which is short for "picture elements." They are laid out in an array with rows and columns, like in a computer spreadsheet or wall calendar. For instance, my camera has an array of sensors in its CCD that is 3008 horizontally, and 2000 pixels vertically (3008x2000). If you do a simple mathematical formula on the pixel array size you will come up with the "Megapixel" rating of the camera. This is the number that most manufacturers use to sell the camera. The simple formula 3008x2000 = 6,016,000 shows that my camera has over six million pixels, or is a "six megapixel" camera.

Think of megapixels as millions of dots of light that are being stored for each picture. The more dots of light there are, the higher the resolution of the image. More pixel dots = bigger pictures. Usually, the more megapixels the better! It takes a lot of megapixels to make prints on photo paper, so it would be best to get a camera with as many megapixels as you can afford. ..

When the image strikes the sensor, it gets all those megapixels excited. First the image goes through color filters above the individual sensors. The sensor converts the image from light waves into an analog electrical signal. The analog signal is then run through an analog to digital converter (A-D Converter), where it becomes a pure digital signal. Then it is again put through a series of electronic filters that adjust the white balance, color, and aliasing of the image. Next a compression cycle makes the image as small as possible by dumping unnecessary pixels, for more efficient storage. Now the camera has a nice compressed, filtered, digital signal representing your image.

The image is then transferred into a temporary storage area inside the camera called "buffer memory," or simply the "buffer." When the buffer is full, the image is written out to your storage media, such as a memory card. The buffer size in the camera is an important thing. It tells how many images you can take in quick succession. If you have a tiny buffer in your camera, you will have to wait a bit after you take several images.

In fact, the main thing that drives the cost up on digital cameras is the number of megapixels, and the size of the memory buffer. Most cameras have a reasonable amount of both, so you needn't worry. Even if you can only afford a very inexpensive digital camera, you will still have nice images, you just might be limited in their maximum size on photo paper, and will have to wait a bit when taking images quickly. Almost any digital camera is capable of taking pictures for display on the Internet, or for sending across the Internet as email. Images on the Internet are very low resolution -- about 72 to 100 dots per inch -- so any quality digital camera will be capable of making beautiful images for display there.


WHAT ABOUT PRINTING MY DIGITAL IMAGES?

To make a nice 4x6 inch print will require a camera of at least two megapixels. To go up to an 8x10, or 11x14 inches, it is best to have a four to six megapixel camera. Of course, an image processor can make the smaller megapixel cameras do larger prints by stretching the image a bit. This is a process called "interpolation," which simply means adding extra dots of light (pixels) to make the image larger. Image quality degrades a bit when this happens, but is generally acceptable. So a two-megapixel camera could make a print up to 8x10 if needed. A four or six megapixel camera will do an even sharper image, and can make nice images printed all the way up to at least 11x14 inches.

One nice feature that has not yet arrived on film cameras, other than Polaroids, is the freedom to immediately view the image you just took. Since even low-cost digital cameras have small video monitors on the back of the camera, you are able to see if that image is a keeper, or should be deleted. Think of how much money you will save by only printing the images you like, instead of taking a bunch of film images, keeping the best ones, and shoving the rest in a shoebox in the closet. Digital cameras cost more up front, but cost less over the long run to use. You can afford to take many more pictures than you ever could before using a digital camera.

hope it helps

How many megapixels are really necessary?

Jonathan L

I'm looking into getting a little bit better of a digital camera and was looking into a digital SLR. I was looking at a Canon Digital Rebel/350D which is 8.0 mp. And the Nikon D40/50, either of of which is 6.1 mp. Would that extra 2mp make such a big difference in picture quality? The reason I am looking at these two is because I already have lenses that should fit either one.

Answer
The MP will make a difference in your LARGER prints. 6MP will give you professional quality 8x10 prints and 8MP will yield 11x14 or so. I am talking about 'better than analog quality' style photos when I mention the above.

BUT BE ADVISED, the PRINTER you choose for enlargements will be even MORE IMPORTANT! Either choose an outside service of get a PRO printer ($300-$500) with high quality ink.

No need worrying about the Megapixels unless you plan to actually create some professional-style use for the photo... (i.e. printed and then framed, etc.)

FYI. The new CANON Rebel is a GREAT camera!

What is the best DSLR camera for a beginner?

dslr camera on sale image

Sophia

For the holidays, my mom is going to match me for a DSLR camera. I want her to buy my gift on Black Friday so that it'll be cheaper for the both of us. I have been taking photos using point and shoots and other digital cameras for a few years now. I really want one that is professional grade but one that's also pretty user friendly. I'm looking in the 200-600 range (regular price not sale price). I want a camera that's light weight but also really sturdy. Thanks! c: p.s. if you have any pics from the camera that you recommend, a link would be great!!

Answer
Rebel T3's are really good cheap beginner cameras and they are on sale. Rebel T3is are even better, but pricier. You can also get some great, exceptional quality with superzooms that are just that step right below DSLR like the SX50. I'm trying to decide between all of these. You can directly compare cameras and see which one wins here: snapsort.com/compare

Im in the market for a dslr camera, should i buy it before christmas or after christmas? which sale is bigger?

thehundred

i wanted to buy a dslr camera (canon rebel xti or nikon d40x) and was wondering will i get a better discount/deal for the before christmas sale or after christmas sale. any input appreciated.

Answer
Ahem. "Gray" cameras from Nikon or Canon are not plastic versions of metal cameras sold in the USA. Rather, they are identical cameras that have NOT been brought into the country by official import channels. Since Nikon and Canon do not have any control or share of the distribution, they refuse to provide the same level of support and service. It would be like you buying something from one store, and expecting another store to help you with how to use your new item, or expecting free adjustments. Gray market cameras are physically identical (except for the occasional label), but have not earned warranty or after warranty support. Example: Nikon will never repair a gray market Nikon in the USA, even if you offer to pay in full.

My advise for buying a camera? Buy it now. Trust me, there are huge discounts now for your Canon Rebel XTi or Nikon D40x. Yes, there will be some discounts after Xmas, but there's two major concerns.
1. You may be buying a camera that someone got as a gift, and returned. The stores will "check" them, and put them back on the shelf.
2. You'll miss all the great photos for the next few weeks. Missed photos are lost photos.

In either case,since you've narrowed your choices down, I make one strong recommendation. Go into a camera store and try both camera bodies out. See which one suits your hands, your style, and feels most like an extension of you. More bells and whistles mean nothing if the camera gets in the way of your photography.

Hope this is helpful.

HTC One silver or Lumia 920 yellow?

megapixel camera vs ultrapixel camera image

Kiritsugo

So last November I pre-ordered the Nokia Lumia 920 (I live in the Netherlands). The problem is, that due to Nokia's supply issues, my order has been delayed time after time and ultimately it has now been delayed to March 13th. Initially I loved the phone, but as it is almost half a year past the announcement presently, I already know everything about it and it doesn't have the 'new' factor anymore. Also, I'm paying the flagship-price for a phone which may shortly not be a flagship anymore (I'm not concerned about that, but I don't want to pay full price for a phone which is maybe somewhat 'outdated'). Technology is growing fast, and the era of the 2013 flagship is beginning. A few days ago the HTC One was announced, and I was astonished by the device, maybe even to the extend of my initial excitement about the Lumia 920. Purely spec-wise, the One beats the Lumia in most aspects. I especially found the full HD display extraordinary, because I use my smartphone a lot to watch videos.

The Lumia 920 does however beat the One in a few aspects. Although I am impressed by the ultrapixels and think HTC is very brave to withdraw from the megapixel war, the Carl Zeiss optics and OIS of the Lumia remain unbeaten (except for maybe the 41 MP pureview sensor :) ). Also I think the Nokia is quite a bit sturdier than the HTC One, which may come in handy because if there's one thing I don't want, it is to buy a beautiful phone and then put a case on it.

The main reason for my choice for the yellow Lumia, is its uniqueness. The yellow unibody and Windows Phone 8 interface are really one of a kind. Moreover Windows Phone 8 is a very smooth and intuitive software that I would love to use. Not to mention the 'gapless' HTC One looks absolutely stunning too. The aluminium unibody and edge-to-edge screen are very classy. Android and Sense on the other hand look great too, but not as good as Windows Phone (and I still think they stole the idea of blinkfeed from the live tiles, but it looks good :) ).

The thing about Android which really appeals to me is the almost unlimited customization it offers. Since I practically use my phone (currently an iPhone, but I'm sick of Apple) as a laptop/tablet, I am intrigued by the capabilities of Android. Surely, Windows phone has Office and OneNote, but it also lack connectivity (for example for downloading PDF's and videos directly to your phone) and many of these small features that are almost essential if you previously have become used to them, like a rotation lock for using your phone in bed or on the couch, or a good notification center. Maybe they will show up after an update, and it's not a deal breaker for me, it's just VERY annoying not to have. Also the app availability is, although it is growing on WP, far better on Android.

If I will wait for my pre-order Lumia (which may eventually be delayed again...), I might regret letting the HTC One slip, because I could have gotten that 'true' flagship for the same price as the Lumia. And no matter how much Windows Phone appeals to me, I don't want to be frustrated by the lack of functionality in IOS I'm currently suffering from, again, ever. I think Windows Phone is a borderline case here.

In the same way, if I cancel my order and then order the HTC One (I don't know what HTC's reputation is in the area of supply issues, but I assume it should be alright if I pre-order), I might regret getting that stunning yellow beast of a phone.

Either way I'd regret buying the 'wrong' phone very much, so I'd really appreciate your advice on which phone I should buy and why. Thanks in advance :)

Answer
It is worth to wait for the Nokia Lumia 920.
I'm telling so because I own one since November and I think it's the better phone I ever had.
According to me at the moment the nokia Lumia 920 appears to be the most innovative cell phone on the market with LTE, NFC, sensitive screen usable even with gloves on, the screen very very fast and responsive, camera with optical image stabilizer which allows great photos in low light (and now with the latest update also in daylight) and video very stable, 32 gb hard disk and wireless charging. Not to mention that Windows Phone 8 is an operating system truly optimized and a real breath of fresh air.

Even If the HTC imaging hardware and software is very good I think that at the moment the Nokia knowledge and achievements on cameraphones are absolutely the best on the market:
http://www.neowin.net/news/cameras-htc-one-vs-nokia-lumia-920?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter


The only problem I can see is the weight of 185 grams but in exchange of that thereâs a wonderful feeling of solidity (and itâs proven to be a really tough guy).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH4xYN9I5Kw
http://bgr.com/2012/11/22/nokia-lumia-920-durability-test/

With regard to the lack of app I think is a problem rather relative. The 700,000 Android app are not very useful, since a person will maybe 100 to 200 apps. The app for Windows phone 8 (and 7) are currently about 130,000 and are growing more and more in virtue of Windows 8 ecosystem that is emerging.

Personally, I just donât like the operating system Android even If I know that is a very good OS but I know that windows phone 8 is absolutely fast and smooth and itâs something different. Windows Phone 8 doesnât need monster hardware to be performing.
Associated with my Lumia 920 I bought the tablet Microsoft Surface RT and I have also windows 8 in my pc. I like the ecosystem Microsoft is building.

Htc one vs Galaxy s4?

Coletrain

Hey guys, ive been living with the iphone for two long, its time to get a badass phone. Obvs. Im attempting to decide between the HTC One or the Samsung Galaxy S4. I origionally wanted to get the One X+ but now that the One and Gs4 have 2Gb of ram the X+ seems obsolete. I would like to make it clear that i will be rooting whichever phone i get, almost immediatly, in order to replace the skin and OS, and that i plan on playing lots of games with stunning graphics, since i dont have a console or laptop, and probably watching movies and high quality videos. So i wanna know which phone has more raw processing power and which screen would be better for gaming.

Another point id like to know is, theoretically, if i were to overclock each phone, which one would have a higher processing speed?

Answer
I will admit an HTC bias to begin with. Between these two it is quality vs quantity.
The s4 does have a 1.8 ghz octocore processor, double that of the one. However with this processor only 4 cores are in operation at any given time. So you wouldn't notice a difference in performance.
The one is of sturdy 100% aluminum unibody design. It makes for a gorgeous device that feels snug in your hand. The trade off is you don't have expandable memory or a removable battery. Where as the s4 is made of few pieces of polycarbonate, a fancy word for cheap plastic, but you can expand the memory and take the battery out.

The cameras are different, 13 mp vs 4 "ultrapixel". The theory of the ultrapixel on the one is that fewer, but larger pixels will make the camera more functional in low light instead of cramming in megapixels and using a brutal tiny LED flash. The HTC one also offers a few more camera software features, like Zoe.

Bottom line, the s4 has a few more software features. IMO I would rather have a solid, dependable phone than a piece of plastic bloated with resource hogging resources.

I am unconvinced by Samsung's marketers, I want an HTC one

What is the difference between 2.0 megapixels and 3.2 megapixels?

2.0 megapixel camera quality image

Julia

I want to get a blackberry but i am hesitating between the curve 9330 and the bold 9650 everything is practically the same except that the curve has 2.0 mega pixels and the bold has 3.2 mega pixels and i really want a good quality camera phone but i love the design of the curve. So I was just wondering is 2.0 megapixels good? please help me

Answer
2 megapixels is still good. 3.2 will only give you the option of enlarging the photo more, because it's a larger file size to begin with. It's not going to make that much of a difference, just get whichever phone you like better.

How to fix a camera that won't turn on?

best megapixel camera 2011 image

Danielle

My camera is a Nikon Coolpix S6100 Wide 7x Zoom 16.0 Megapixel. I've had it since September 2011. The problem started about 5-6 months after I got it. The camera was working perfectly fine, it had been taken care of and never dropped or even came close to water. It just stopped turning on. So I brought it to Best Buy's Geek Squad, where they tried a majority of different things to get it working again. Everything failed. So they sent it into Nikon's repair shop, where they "fixed" the problem. It worked for about 3 weeks after that. I ended up just buying a new battery and the camera worked again, until the battery needed to be charged, it wouldn't charge. So I got a new charger, and still, the battery wouldn't charge. So I went out and bought ANOTHER battery, and the camera worked until the battery died. The battery still would not charge. Now it has been about 2 years and I still haven't had any luck with charging the battery. My warranty is expired and the Geek Squad will no longer help me for free. (Pretty mad that they just didn't replace the camera when I asked them to, while I still had a warranty) So I was just curious if anybody knew of any ways to fix my issues with my camera. I really don't want to invest any more money on this than I already have...but if that's what it takes, I'll try to be open-minded. Thanks so much for everyone's help!

Answer
Are you using the EH-69P to charge the battery?

Do you charge it the night before you intend to use the camera?

Have you let the battery sit for over a day or two when fully discharged (this can reduce the life of the battery)?

You should have sent the camera to Nikon during the warranty period

Do you know that batteries are NOT listed by how long you can leave the camera turned on, but how many shots it can take on a full charge?

Many of your issues seem to be based upon not knowing how to use the camera, maintain the battery in a way that gives you the best performance and what you can really expect from such a camera.

I have Li-ion batteries that are over 10 years old and they still work flawlessly.

Spend a lot of time reading your cameras user manual and get to the point that you fully understand how to keep your camera at its peak performance

Want to buy a camera for sports photography. What camera, lenses should I look for? ?

dslr camera 1000 fps image

loh

I want to take action pictures of field hockey (outdoor) players. I tried a Canon SLR (forgot the model #), didn't go wide enough. Any pointers to reading materials, or camera makes/models recommendations?
thx

Answer
You will need a fast-shooting camera body coupled with fast lenses.

If you're going Canon, the fastest prosumer dSLR is the Canon 40D. It gives you 10MP quality and shoots at 6.5 fps (frames per second), which should be sufficient for your shooting needs. It retails for about $1000 on Amazon.

As for a good lens for sports shooting, I'd highly recommend the EF 70-200mm f/4L. It's fast, it has a good zoom range, lightweight, and incredibly sharp. Its large aperture (low f-number) allows more light in and blurs the background to draw more sharpness to the player(s). Best of all, it only costs $450 on Amazon!

You mentioned wide; I guess you want to capture a large spread of players then? If so, and you're using the 40D, I'd recommend the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. It's also fast, sharp, goes very wide, and has good build quality. It retails on Amazon for $400! I recently bought mine for landscape and photojournalism work, and I've loved using it.

Good luck!

I want a camera that gets about 30 fps and 6 mp or more ?

Random

I want to record fast movement like juggling or a baby that just can't sit still. I need about an hours worth of recording time. I know that you can go to certain websites to upgrade your frames per second for certain cameras so if you can name off a camera that does this please do. Also I want to pay less than a thousand.

Answer
If you are talking about a P&S camera, look here ... almost all P&S cameras shoot video at 30 fps .. most have 7 mp or more sensors for under $250, but they all exhibit shutter lag of some amount

http://www.dpreview.com

The only DSLR that costs less than $1000 is the Nikon D90. Its video shoots at the same speed as motion picture ... 24 fps. (it has as 12 mp sensor)

http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Digital-SLR/25446/D90.html

Based upon your requirements, you need to do a lot more research ... there are no cameras that will record at least 1 hour of video on one card ... at least not with any kind of resolution. And expecting a firmware upgrade to increase the frames per second is not in the deck.

Camera Help - Which One Is Better, Or Another Choice?

dslr camera za image

Q. I Have About £1000 Pounds To Spend.
This includes money for the tripod, etc.
I have been mainly focused on two camera's -
Canon EOS 40D, and the Canon EOS 450.
Which one, would you buy, and if possible, why?
But if neither of these are THAT great, could you tell me something else i could consider, of any make -
for my first ever DSLR (i'm making the big break! :D )
and ten points galore then.
MERCI!

Answer
There is no doubt that Canon and Nikon make fine cameras. However, I believe that when considering such a major purchase one should look at all the possibilities.

Although a relative newcomer to the DSLR field, Sony is building on solid technology bought from Konica-Minolta when that company exited the camera business. Since the introduction of the A100 and A700 in 2006 Sony has improved the technology and features to produce the A200, A300 and A350. All Sony cameras differ from Nikon and Canon in one major way - Sony has their version of Image Stabilization - Super Steady Shot - in the camera body. Canon and Nikon have their versions in their longer focal length lenses. Since the IS is in the lens you have to pay for it with every lens. With IS in the camera body, every lens used will have its benefit. Yes, there is evidence that IS in the lens is slightly more effective. However, if you'd like to see how in-camera IS affects pictures taken with a shorter focal length lens, go to http://www.shutterbug.com and type 'maxxum 5d' in the Search box. You'll pull up a test report of this Sony DSLR ancestor from the Feb. 2006 issue. Read it, look at the sample pictures, and decide for yourself.

The Sony A300 & A350 both feature Live View which actually works with the autofocus. Although some may imagine a person trying to use Live View to compose a picture instead of using the viewfinder (I seriously doubt anyone would even think about trying to hold a DSLR at arm's length like a digicam), that's not its main function. Its usefulness comes into play when you're in a crowd and have no choice but to hold the camera over your head to get a picture. Just flip the screen down, compose, check focus and shoot. Its also useful when using the camera at ground level - just flip the screen up.

You may hear that Nikon and Canon have a wider lens line than Sony. That's not completely true. The Sony DSLR cameras can use every Minolta Maxxum AF lens made since 1985. Sony also has a Carl Zeiss "ZA" line of lenses. Most all of the accessories for the late, lamented Maxxum 5D & 7D are compatible with the Sony.

While you're comparing cameras, features and benefits, take a look at the Pentax DSLR line.

Digital SLR camera, to buy or not to buy?

kahala

I am in the market for a digital SLR camera and trying to decide between the Cannon rebel XT or the Olympus E420

Answer
Either camera has its pluses and minuses. If they were the only two choices I'd vote for the Canon even though its an older model.

Depending on your budget, you might want to take a look at the Sony A300. Sony has their version of image stabilization in the camera body, unlike Canon which uses a lens-based system. With the A300 every lens used will have the benefit of stabilization. With Canon you pay for it with every lens. The A300 also features real-time Live View which actually works with the auto focus - its more than just a preview/review. Suppose you're in a crowd and have to hold the camera over your head to take a picture. Flip the screen down, compose, check focus and shoot. Or, if you're shooting at ground level, flip the screen up, etc.

Someone will likely tell you that Canon and Nikon have a larger lens selection. That's not entirely accurate. The A300 (as can any Sony DSLR) can use every legacy Minolta Maxxum AF lens made since 1985. I rather doubt you'll ever need a lens that isn't available. You also have access to the Carl Zeiss "ZA" lenses Sony offers.

Happy shopping!

Need a camera for beginner filmmaking?

dslr camera for filmmaking image

Isabella

I'm about to take my final year of media and we're required to make a film. Though the school supplies us with camcorders, they're pretty mediocre and I'm planning on making a documentary that I not only want to have as my final piece, but something that I can really show off. I've been thinking about buying a DSLR camera for filming but I don't know where to start. My maximum spending would be 650 or 700, and I'm looking for a decent camera that preferably won't need an audio extension. My piece will be a documentary, so the type of filming may vary so this needs to be an all round camera

Answer
Canon 60D is great or Canon rebel t3i.

What are the benefits/disadvantages to DSLR filmmaking?

Charlie

I am looking into buying a DSLR for making my films- could somebody share their thoughts on the topic? Is DSLR a good choice? Why or why not?

Answer
Benefits:
-Small form factor (makes it easier to get into tight spots, easier to carry and use at unusual vantage points).
- Dirt cheap ... at least compared to traditional cameras used for movie making. Even cheaper than the Red and the Red was revolutionary both in terms of technology AND price.

Disadvantages:
- Short shooting time ... you can only shoot for about 10 -15 minutes on a 5DMkII before the camera stops. This isn't a problem if you are shooting a movie or commercial (where everything is done in short takes) but it is a problem if you are trying to film a training session, confrence, seminar ... anything meant ot be shot in one long continuous sesssion.

What is the best digital camera to buy under $1,000?

highest megapixel kids camera image

itsjustme

I want to get great quality pics from this camera. I want to be able to get different lenses for this camera. What are the good brands vs. not so good brands?? Thanks ya'll!

Answer
I LOVE my Nikon D40x. 10.2 megapixels means big, detailed images with great clarity, and the Nikon optics are first-rate. It's also got a great user interface, though if your photo store offers an introductory seminar (the Nikon rep in my city gives one about every month to new purchasers), it's well worth the time.

The D40x is a particularly good choice if you're a newcomer to photography as a hobby; if you just leave it in "auto" mode and let it do all the thinking about light, speed, etc., it'll take the best-looking snapshots you've ever seen. If you want to start learning a little about photography as a hobby, the D40x will let you change its settings in key areas that make a difference in how your photos will look, especially in "special" situations (low light, high-speed action shots, super-close macro shots, etc.)

For an example of how easy it is to use, take a look at this photo set on my Flickr account:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/sfisher71/sets/72157600287588436/

Many of those photos were taken by one or the other of my two kids, one 16 and the other 10 (check the tags for attribution). My 10-year-old had used the camera once prior to our visit to the Japanese garden, and some of his photos from his first day with the D40x are here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/lightningcharlie/

Again, those are from a 10-year-old who had picked up the camera for the first time that day. The barrel of flowers, in particular, is stunning, and be sure not to miss the ladybug on the leaf in the closeup of the blackberry blossom.

Since you specifically mention lenses, the D40x has one limitation about the kind of autofocus lenses it accepts. Specifically, while some Nikon cameras include a built-in autofocus drive motor (with a pin that goes into the lens), the D40 and D40x do not. Therefore they can only use their autofocus mode with lenses that have their own built-in drive motors, meaning lenses in the AF-S and AF-I series. You can also of course use other Nikon lenses but you'll need to focus them manually, which is a worthwhile skill to develop for any photographer.

The link in the Sources field is a very detailed review of the D40x, with a list of the controls, the display elements, and much more information, including a comparison with some of its competitors (notably the Canon EOS, another good choice).

As a final observation, the "kit" price for the D40x with an 18-55mm zoom lens is $799, well within your price range. The lens I chose, an 18-135mm zoom, bumps the price just over your limit to $1029, but the flexibility of the additional 80mm was important to me as I do a lot of motorsports photography and am not always in a position to get right up close to the action. If you're really looking to save money, the camera body itself is $729, and you can shop for exactly the lens you want for the price difference. But if you can squeeze another thirty bucks out of your budget and you even occasionally take pictures from a distance, I highly recommend the 18-135 as a good all-around lens for everything from closeup to mild telephoto work.

What type of camera would take a picture of this good quality?

Jan

http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/90/l_4a7cb726ddd94899818d5e6ac53d8951.png


Like, it just seems of such high quality. Is it the megapixels, or is a type of setting?
Because I ordered a 10.1 megapixel camera, but I don't know if there's more to a good quality picture than megapixels.

I'm new to this whole camera thing. xD

Answer
Of course there's a LOT more to photography than megapixels! To get a good quality picture you need to have enough lighting (and also the right kind of lighting). But if you have enough light and you hold the camera steady, then pretty much any decent camera can take a picture like that. In fact, there's really nothing special about that picture at all. Some girl just held a camera above her head and took a picture of herself. You'll see a million other pictures like that on MySpace. At least her picture is clear and in focus, unlike most of the pictures that the emo kids take of themselves on MySpace.

But don't get fooled by megapixels. That is definitely NOT the most important thing. You can take decent pictures even with a 3 megapixel camera. What's more important is the quality of the lens, and the lighting. In fact, I can take very clear, super sharp and detailed pictures with a manual 35mm FILM camera.

Just to give you an example...I took these with my Argus C-3 camera. It's a vintage 35mm film camera, with completely manual exposure. (I take mostly landscape photos)

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f86/gatewaycityca/FL000017.jpg
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f86/gatewaycityca/LakeFulmor600DPIdresized.jpg

I know everyone seems to think that photography is all about megapixels and taking pictures with a point and shoot digital camera and "photoshopping" them. But the truth is that if you understand the basics of photography, you can take good pictures with pretty much ANY decent camera. I prefer to use a camera with completely manual exposure control though, so I can have more creativity with my pictures.

What is the best value in digital cameras?

most megapixel camera yahoo image

BlueFish

Our Kodak EasyShare CX4230 is dead. It was a 2.0 megapixel camera and we have the docking station and the memory cards. I need to replace it and am not sure what to look at. This camera worked great and was easy to use. I liked the zoom on in but hated the delay from when I pressed the button till when the pictures was taken. Any suggestions? I'd prefer to keep in under $200. We are using it primarly to take pictures of our adorable and quick toddlers.

Answer
I LOVE my Canon PowerShot A620. It's a 7.1 mp camera which takes awesome still shots, and just as awesome video. Great for home and everyday use. Easy to take on vacations and you can really take some artistic/creative photos too. A great all-around camera. My 35mm cameras are Canon too, and I still love and use it. Sony makes good stuff also.

I had a Sony, and I gave that to my daughter, and purchased the Canon PowerShot A610 for my teenage son. The Canon A610 is exactly like my A620, but is a 5 mp digital camera. They both take GREAT pictures, but my favorite thing about the camera, is the vari-angle LCD screen. It is very easy to use, and a camera you can grow with.

Our A610/A620 has a setting, call "kids&pets". Typically you use these on the subjects that usually has a hard time keeping still. But I also use this setting when taking pictures of my soccer team during game play. I've also taken pictures of my kids, nieces and nephews jumping in the air, a la cheerleader jumps, with great results. Lag time is very, very, very minimal. (i.e. delay from pressing button to actual camera capturing the shot). This is just one of the many settings the camera has to offer and you can also manually set and program your own settings.

For ease of point and shoot, just choose the setting in which you're taking pictures of, (i.e. indoor, outdoor, nighttime, portrait, fireworks, snow, beach, and 'auto' [automatic]), and it'll adjust accordingly the proper exposure/settings. If you get more experience or for the experienced, you can manually choose exposure and settings like the old 35 mm.

I'm a bargain hunter. I purchased both NEW Canon this late spring 2006 on line. My son's was under $200 and mine was $204. Just Google or Yahoo! Search any Canon model, and then see which merchant has the best price with those lowprice websites and order on-line. The price is waaaay better than going physically to the stores. If you need it right away, just upgrade the shipping. It's still cheaper than buying at the stores. No matter what model camera you're searching for, better prices are on-line.

I don't know if you'll find this model (A610) at the stores. They have newer models, the A630 (8mp) and the A640 (10mp), they boast more mega-pixels and ISO settings. But 5mp, more than suffices for most users. What I did was physically touched and feel the camera at the store, then go on-line to purchase. But if you prefer to purchase at the stores, some good places are Best Buy, Wal Mart and Target. Suprisingly enough, they have good selection at Wal-Mart and Target.

Here is the link if you'd like to check out the specs on these Canon cameras: http://www.usa.canon.com
and go to 'products' to 'consumer products' to lead you to the cameras. it tells you what the camera has and what it looks like up close.

While you're searching on-line, you'll also find many reviews on these cameras. All with many positives things to say about the camera. You'll also find information on these cameras in Yahoo! Tech http://tech.yahoo.com/rc/digital-cameras...

Hope this helps in your hunt for a new digital camera!

How many photos can be sent E-Mail at one time?

Vintage Mu

I sent photos taken with a 9 megapixel camera and also a 6 megapixel camera. In each case my brother can not receive more than 2 photos at one time. What determines how many? I guess it's not megapixels. Any thoughts?

Answer
That depends on the size and resolution of the photos you are sending and the email provider that you are using. It sounds like you are sending photos that are not resized in any way. Yahoo! Mail I think has a 10 MB limit on each email sent.

highest megapixel camera wiki image

Denny Firs

I'd like to record my fishing adventures. :D good reviews and I'd prefer if it's in stores around me. I have Walmart , Best Buy, Sears , target, and Costco. Thanks !

Answer
AWBoater provided an interesting (and good) list, but I sort of have to disagree with one thing...

He said, "One has to assume that if sensor sizes are not specified, they must be at a disadvantage"... assuming you want to capture video, not stills, if the sensor is more than 3 megapixels for video doing 720 or 1080 horizontal lines of video resolution, you don't need much more in the way of more megapixels...

standard definition, 4:3 aspect ratio, video = 640 x 480 = 307,200 or almost 1/3 of a megapixel.
high definition at 720 horizontal rows = 1280 x 720 = 921,600 or almost 1 megapixel.
high definition at 1080 horizontal rows = 1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600 or a little over 2 megapixels.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_resolution

In addition to horizontal line count, the amount of compression applied to the video data stream during capture has a HUGE impact (if you can, compare 1080p video at a 25 mbps to 1080p video at 7mbps using the same LARGE monitor or HDTV and fill the screen for playback - both will look fine on a small cell-phone screen...).

Megapixel count is more of a measurement of still image resolution. Assuming the manufacturer did not specify megapixel count may mean they know their equipment is not appropriate to capture high resolution still images, but we found two paragraphs ago, that does not matter for video.

Other helmet cams worth a look:

Most likely the GoPro family and Coutour will be the most "available" given the list of stores you provided.

What do those camcorder sensor numbers mean?

Doug

I just bought a Sony HDRPJ260V. Manual says it has a 1/3.91 type, 4.2 mm sensor. 4.2 mm I hear means the diagonal of the image sensor. A Canon HF R300 camcorder has a 1/4.85 sensor. How can I tell what the diagonal is (isn't this the important thing, surface area of the sensor, one with 2X area should be 2X as good all other factors equal)? Should these numbers be proportional i.e. 4.2/(1/3.91)=X/(1/4.85)?

Seems like the manufacturers have conspired to purposely give you info that means nothing to you...or give you useful info but then conspire to not tell you how to interpret it. This reminds me of the megapixel hype nonsense in mini digital cameras but in reverse (manufacturers found higher MP ratings sold more cameras but more pixels in same size sensor does NOT necessarily mean a better image).

Answer
Hi again, Doug:

The diagonal measurement on camcorder & camera sensors can sound a lot like the TV marketing hype used for television set sizes (also measured diagonally, to sound "bigger").

Just like raw Megapixels specifications, the sensor size specs are only useful to a certain point. There are other minutiae like individual pixel size (in microns), Bayer color filter design, CCD versus CMOS, etc. Larger sensors can capture more light, helping with low-light sensitivity without "noise artifacts". But individual manufacturer's design & circuitry can affect this "signal to noise" ratio, as well as image detail.

The actual tradition of the diagonal measurement spec for video sensors dates back to the days of Vidicon & Plumicon imaging tubes (which were round). These were measured by diameter (1/2", 2/3", etc.) which if you draw the rectangular TV frame on it is approximately the same as the box's diagonal size. What makes it even more confusing is the practice of "improper fractions" (e.g., 1/3.91", instead of 1/4" which --heaven forbid!-- is 0.09" smaller).

You can peruse the excellent Wikipedia chart listing common sensor sizes (both diagonal & HxW meansurements): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensor_sizes#Table_of_sensor_formats_and_sizes One of the more illuminating (no pun intended) parts of the article text says,
"sensor areas... are proportional to the maximum possible collection
of light and image resolution [other things equal], but in practice are
not directly proportional to image noise or resolution due to other limitations."

You really have to look at 3rd party reviews (CNet, DP Review, Consumer Reports, etc.) to compare low-light image quality and lens/sensor image fidelity. Printed specs are a mere guideline, but you also have to "consider the source" when shopping.

hope this helps,
--Dennis C.

Is 2 megapixels in a phone camera good?

megapixel camera iphone 5 image

Caitlin

I want to get an iPhone, and I think either way it's what I'll end up getting.. But I've read that it's a 2 megapixel camera, is that good or bad?

Answer
wat almost everyone doesnt know is that its not the megapixels that make the camera's image quality good. the number of megapixels is the size of the pictures, not quality. for example, the RAZR2 has amazing image quality but its got a 2 megapixel camera. where as the Samsung Behold has a 5 megapixel camera but its got a pretty bad camera. its all in the lens of the camera, the sensor and the processor.

just to let u know, the iPhone sucks, and so does its camera. if u want a REALLY GOOD phone then get the T-Mobile G1, its a 3 megapixel camera but its camera isn't that good.

hope this helped!!

What camera should I buy my brother for making movies?

dslr camera 7d image

fonzii

My budget at the moment is about 2-3k, and I have NO idea about any cameras. I've been hearing a lot about dSLR cameras, but I have no idea how long they can film for. I also have no idea about HD cams or anything either.

My brother is crazy about picture quality. I would like to get him something he can continue to use and not have to replace. Again, my budget is about $2000-3000. Are there any possible cams I should look into? Thanks everyone.

Answer
Within your budget the maximum clip length is 12mins, which is 4GB, so for 8GB cards 16Gb cards you can double, quadruple etc.

Canon DSLRs are the best for video. The 600D, 60D are probably the best of the current bunch, articulating screens, mic level control. Should leave some budget for a couple of nice lenses, say a 50mm prime f1.4 and a Sigma 17-50 f2.8 zoom?

If your brother is serious then have a chat with him, it's a lot of money to spend if he has his dream camera in mind and you buy the wrong thing.

A lot of folk will tell you the 5Dmk2 is the one to go for, I refute this, the shutter rolls and it ties you to very expensive full frame lenses. It's good, but it leaves you no budget for lenses, and things have moved on.

I have a 550D and a 7D. If I was buying for video today I'd buy either a 600D or a 60D.

What is this camera attachment called?

Meg B.

I have a Canon 7D which is a DSLR camera, it takes video and i have seen some photographers/videographers use an attachment that hooks to where the screen is, you look through is so you can see what you are videoing easily. What is this called and where can i find one. Thanks!

Answer
It's a magnifier. There are couple of different ones made. Zacuto makes one and Hoodman makes another. You might want to consider getting a small monitor and running it out of your HDMI output. You can get a monitor for almost the same price as a magnifier and it's much easier to use. Pro monitors are expensive but there are few inexpensive, battery operated monitors. One of the biggest challenges of shooting motion with a DSLR is composing and getting your shot focused because you really don't have a viewfinder.

Should I get the iPod Touch 4 or the Samsung Galaxy player 4?

megapixel camera ipod touch 4 image

Scobe591

I was going to get the new touch, but saw mediocre reviews on the camera, which is one of the main reasons I wanted to get a new one (I have the ipod touch 3g). I haven't found any reviews on the Galaxy Wifi 4.0, but it looks intriguing, with its 3.2 megapixel camera and Android software. Anyone know anything about this?

Answer
i do. the Samsung galaxy player 4.0 has the ability to switch from .3,1,2,2.5, and3.2mp in the camera, has the ability to change brightness of the picture the picture, image stabilizer, auto focus, different custom settings for different scenes depending on what your taking a picture on and where, the ability to easily make a panorama, to add frames, effects like sepia water color negative and black and white, change the exposure, and image quality in a sleek easy to use interface make the Samsung galaxy players camera much more useful and just better than the iPod touches camera. (plus the galaxy players camera is 5 times the resolution of the iPod touches camera)

plus any specification the iPod has the galaxy player doubles it or in the case of graphics triples it for example (ram, screen color production and viewing angles, speakers are superb even louder than an ipad, and you should get a longer battery life )

SHOULD I DO SOME CHANGE IN IT.WAT DOES AVATAR MEAN.

Answer
1. Dont get a laptop for gaming. When you get tired of having a laptop for gaming and the urge to actually learn something about computers (and not be an alienware dweeb), a laptop is a total fail. upgrades are a pain and way expensive.

2. Dont get an alienware. They are total rip-offs. for desktops at least. they sell nice laptops. Get a pro tech to build you a nice desktop you can game one at highest settings. a nice $1000 desktop built right can handle any game you throw at it. if you want to future proof it, make sure you get a motherboard that supports SLI (nVidia) or Crossfire (ATI/AMD).

3. Dont get McAfee. its shit a PoS virus protection. I have tried (really, i really tested anti-virus programs to protect myself) many many anti-virus programs. from BitDefender to Norton to McAfee to Avast (and many more). the best one habds down is Sunbelt Vipre Anti-Virus. its kicks so much booty.

4. Make sure you get windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.

5. the processor in that is ok, but the whole "Turbo Boost" is for noobs. its more like crappy overclocking. i dont trust it.

I can keep going and going. but i am just saying. stop drooling over alienware. (in the computer tech forums, its for serious noobs and posers haha)

get a tech to build you a nice system and ask him if you can watch him (or her, youd be surprised, women have something to prove!), build it and give an explanation of what you are doing. I do this to my younger bros.

just dont touch the alienware unless you want a seriously mean laptop. but if you want to do some real gaming, and really be a hardcore gamer (we dont just play games), get a desktop.

EDIT: you can thumbs me down all you want, but what i say is true.

Answer
While most of the cameras out there are really good, I would choose Canon over Nikon because it seems like more camera for the money. Some would say Canon withholds their best technology for high end cameras and Nikon implements their best at all levels. Before you decide, read all the text and links in the information below because it will help you know what to look for in a camera.

There is no one particular place to get great buys, but you may see something below that really helps you find the best buy. Click on the first link in the information below for an example then search for your camera of choice at the upper left. Camera prices at this link change often.

Just saw this camera at Best Buy and think it is a great camera and a best buy. It has an optical viewfinder, image stabilizer, auto focus, and uses NiMH rechargeable batteries. Read as much of the following as you can for other information and help with choosing a camera.
Canon A590IS $149.99 at Best Buy store yesterday.

There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say which is best, but digital is definitely the way to go. The second source link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices. The following information should help you know what to look for in a camera.

What gives a camera its picture quality?
The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures.

High mega pixel settings may not be best. It takes longer to process and may not be needed unless required for very large pictures or enlarging small parts of big pictures. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel setting is 8 x 10 inches. When buying a new camera, look for an optical viewfinder (LCD not visible in bright sun) and check replacement battery prices.

The information about my camera is just to show that you don't need the biggest and best. Just know how to use the one you have.

My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7 x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes ... like magic.

Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Ask what cameras they own, but don't believe everything you hear. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner's manual. Just learned that my camera has red-eye prevention and correction. It also has adaptive lighting. You may be able to view owners manuals at this link, but will need to Login. http://www.retrevo.com/s/digital+camera ...

The source links will show most of the cameras out there with prices and help make your digital cameras work better.
