Discussion Board -> Photography -> MP & Cropping
Actually, here's an example with posts to this site. Both these images were taken at an original 3200x2400 at the same quality. 'Pelican Series I' is the original 3200x2400 while 'Polar Bears III' was slightly cropped. To me the image quality is apparent with the Pelican being extremely crisp. So if the Polar Bear photo was taken with the 6MP instead, would it not be a bit more crisp?
I was hoping some of you may be able to offer some advice. I currently use a 3.2MP camera and am looking to upgrade to a 6MP. I do heaps of image cropping because I do a lot of macro pics for my website. My question is this: If I have the exact same frame/image taken at both MP, then will the 6MP image when viewed a bit larger on screen look less grainy/pixelated than the 3.2MP?
For example, some things may only consume 10%-20% of the frame at maximum zoom so they become a bit grainy when 'cropped-up'. Will this be less noticable with the 6MP because there are more pixels? Does that make sense? Any advice would be appreciated.
