What Do You Know About Megapixels ? by Ayebaeapretai(f): 3:04pm On Apr 13, 2018
What Are Megapixels?

On every digital camera sensor, there are tiny little “photosites”. Each of these is a sensor for a single pixel. When light hits a photosite, it determines what color that pixel should be in the resulting photo. Obviously you need lots of photosites to get a high resolution image; one million photosites will give you one million pixels—or one megapixel—in the final image. This means a 20MP photo was taken with a camera that had a sensor with twenty million photosites.

Megapixels and Sensor Size

The sensors in digital cameras come in different sizes. The sensor inside your smartphone is smaller than the sensor inside a crop sensor camera and the sensor inside a crop sensor camera is smaller again than the sensor inside a full-frame DSLR.

All three of these cameras, however, can have a 12MP sensor. What changes is the size of the photosites on the sensor. On a smartphone camera, they’re tiny, while on a full-frame camera, they’ll be much much larger. This affects the overall image quality.

The size of the photosites is very important for image quality and low light performance. While the technology has come a long way over the last few years, and it’s now possible to cram more photosites than ever onto a sensor

The more megapixels a sensor has, the bigger the image it can create. This is really useful for fashion and studio photographers who want every single detail, such as the subject’s eyelashes, as clearly as they can capture.

Higher resolution sensors also make it possible to print larger photos, although that isn’t as big a deal as it used to be.Right now, any modern camera has enough megapixels for almost anything you could want to do. It’s no longer the differentiator it once was and, once you get passed a certain point, other factors start to become more important .

Nowadays phones tend to deceive by just writing high mega pixels why the devices don’t meet up the expected

The zoom on this phone is it optical zoom or just zoom

optical zoom is what again?
Re: What Do You Know About Megapixels ? by BennyPachino: 6:54pm On Apr 18, 2018
Zoom that involves the lenses actually adjusting than just cropping the picture.
