If you are a lover of printed photography, paper photo, you will surely be interested in a camera with many megapixels, because in principle, the higher the number of megapixels, the better the quality of the photo, but there are some exceptions.. In addition to the number of megapixels, there are other factors that can improve or worsen the quality of our photo (I will talk about it again).
Some of you will remember, in an earlier article entitled 4 big hoaxes from digital camera manufacturers, I told you that megapixels are important to choose a good camera, but you should not give it excessive importance.While it is true that it takes a decent amount of megapixels to print the photo of good quality, it is also not necessary to strive to obtain a lot of megapixels.People are usually influenced by numbers, often une analyzed, not knowing what they want them for.
- To settle this doubt once and for all.
- Today I prepared a small picture (have I taken the boards lately?) Through which you can distinguish how many megapixels you will really need if you want to print your photos on paper.
- 300 dpi photo quality.
- If you don’t know what that number is.
- Don’t worry.
- It’s an indicator of the quality of the photo.
- Normally a photo at 200 dpi should have a fairly acceptable quality.
- But here I present the table based on a quality of 300dpi.
- That is.
- Excellent quality.
- To satisfy the whims of the most demanding?.
As you can see, folks, a 10 megapixel camera should be able to capture photos that we can print in A4 folio format, maintaining the highest quality.
Do you understand now why I always insist that megapixels are good but you don’t have to obsess about that either?No more apology. It doesn’t matter which camera you have, either 10 megapixels, 8 or 6; it’s not the megapixels that will take a good picture of you.
You’re going to take a good picture
