What is a good amount of megapixel's for a digital camera?

Question

I have never bought one before. Im looking for one to be used to take everyday kinds of pics. I dont need one for professional photographs. Expensive, as I see ones with higher megapixel's. I dont want a cheap one either. What's a good range to buy in?

Answer 1

I think that the lowest you should probably go is 5.1. I, personally, use a 7.1. Those cameras are cheaper than the real expensive ones but they have really good resolution.

Answer 2

The amount of Megapixels you require all depends on how large you think you're going to eventually PRINT the images.

If you think you're going to print your photos to suit a 6 x 4 inch frame or 8 x 10, then a 5 megapixel camera would suffice.

But just letting you know that megapixels alone doesn't determine how good a camera is, it's more to do with the lens and how good the sensor is. Look for a sensor that is less noisy in dark conditions and you should be right.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Anything over 5 megapixels will get you beautiful shots over 8 x 10.  However, with more megapixels you get the ability to zoom in and crop once you download.  Cropping blows up the pixels, and if you don't have a lot to start with, you could end up with a blurry photograph.

If you are not planning to crop and use digital zoom, don't worry about it.
