Nummer_6.pngAre you concerned about megapixels? They may not be as important anymore as they were. Take a look at what Image Engineering has to say about the subject. Also, check what they say about diffraction, a subject that few people ever think about. Usually it has been said that you should step down your aperture to get more field of depth and an overall sharper picture. But depending on the size of the pixels, type of camera and lense, when you reach a certain f-stop your picture will suffer from diffraction and will become worse! It makes for good reading if you are interested in some of the technology behind our digital world. So no need to get anything better than my 7.1 MegaPixel camera :-)

About Svein

After living in Norway for over 40 years, I have moved to Brazil. I still sometimes travel to Norway to work, but aim at making those trips shorter and shorter. My worklife has been spent in the professional broadcast area. I have been doing regular production, both recorded and live shows. And I have been working for one of the major suppliers of editing systems, Avid Technology. The last few years I have done a lot of training and teaching. It is a very rewarding kind of work and no two days are the same. I also spend some time hacking together websites and tell people about the benefits of having websites with content management systems - CMS and lately also about the advantages of Linux. My preferred flavour is called Kubuntu.
