If you are going to be printing your images, you will want to get as much resolution as you can afford. This is often expressed as MP (megapixels) or as a figure such as 1024 x 768.
Unfortunately, this aspect is the one most closely tied to the price of your camera because this aspect is dependant upon the high costs of electronic chips. The more resolution the higer price of your camera.
Now days most digital cameras have at least 5 mp, which is a great amount for those family snapshots, and even printing 8x10's. You can even possibly print up to 11x14's For a bit more money you can move up to a 6 mp or even higher mp count and print even larger photographs.
If you are one of the lucky few who are only going to be using your camera for Web site imaging, emailing, or other web applications, you can relax; most of the under 5 mp cameras will offer more resolution than you will ever need.
File Size:
File size is just another way of estimated the quality of the camera's output; if the camera can capture more information, odds are good that the quality will be better, especially when printed. You want a larger file size to capture more information, to print better photographs.
As you can see that both resolution and file size are important to printing great larger photographs.
However, resolution and file size are not the only factors in image quality. In order to make outstanding images, you need a way to store lots of photos, a good lens, good software or compression algorithms, burst rate, sensitivity options, and battery consumption... among other camera features. We will soon be going more into these factors. To check out our website just go to photography by Lloydlee Heite at www.lloydlee.com. Talk to you soon!
