The more megapixel, the better. This is what average person believe in. Well, it may be true generally. But may not on some cases. It depends on who you are and what you need. Akira Watanabe, manager of Olympus Imaging SLR department, said “Twelve megapixel is, I think, enough for covering most applications most customers need” to ZDNet. What does he mean ?
The megapixel myth
Generally, there are 2 kinds of photographer, those who snap for fun and artistic shot (amateurs) and those who snap in a studio (professional). These professionals prefer camera with more MP because they need it for large size prints. With higher MP, the larger one can print because higher MP means smoother image.
