Hi all
My wife bought a 8 Mega Pixel Camera, the sale rep told her that a 8 mega pixel is fine and you don't need to go higher as the more pixels are only for printing larger images on a large canvas.
Now I thought the more pixels you have the better quality the image and more colours etc, and nothing to do with the output.
Or am I wrong?
Thankyou

The more pixels, the better the quality, yes. However, the more pixels you have the larger you are able to stretch your image digitally on your computer. With a smaller number of pixels, your image will become more distorted the larger you make it.

On screen you see 72dpi.
Yes.. in theory the more pixels the larger you can print without pixelating..but..you also have to see what you are printing to..I've noticed that if I print a 300 dpi image as a 6x4 it doesn't look any better a 600 or 1200 dpi my printer can only handle so much information.
