The
recent history of digital photography could be described as a megapixel
war. With technological advancements that often come every six months,
new cameras with higher pixel counts are available almost constantly.
It isnt uncommon for photographers to find themselves buying a digital
camera to replace the model they purchased only the year before in the
endless arms race to garner the most megapixels. Today, cameras are more than just the sum of their megapixels. With digital cameras offering resolutions of up to 8 megapixels for less than $1,000, the ability for photographers to produce quality enlargements is available to everyone, not just the pros. As a result, camera manufacturers are competing on a much broader battlefield, each trying to distinguish themselves. |
