How much megapixel does your camera have?  email this discussion to a friend?

A U.S. friend of ours gave me and my wife a handy 8.1 Megapixel Samsung digital camera on their last vacation in our country. The camera is so cool and the color resolution is just awesome. I had many of the pics developed recently and my wife was just so thrilled to see such glossy and lively photos. The camera is our toy gadet for now.

How about you, what camera do you own and how much megapixel does it have? Care to share your thoughts here?

I'm assuming your camera is a PNS(point and Shoot) Most likely one of those slim onnes. I have a Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital SLR(Single Lens Reflex). It has 12.1 Mega Pixels and I have a Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens for it.

wow, that's really cool. I'd go for your camera if I had the money to buy one. The resolution of 12.1 mega pixels must be close to perfect.

we only have 5 megapixel camera from canon powershot s50 but its simply great! i love the photos being captured on our digicam.

we dont need to edit our pictures because it is like a digitally enhanced picture already.

Yeah, not only is the picture enhanced already, but just in case we still want some minor corrections, the photo shop itself can do the editing itself owing to digital technology. Thank God we were born for such a time as this!

My camera has 12 megapixels. It's a Nikon D300. My last DSLR only had 6 megapixels. It is nice working with more megapixels! I can sell larger prints of my photos. And I can crop my photos much smaller, and still have a large enough image!

whooo, 12 mp, that's cool. I envy you my friend. Cheers!

I have several camera:

Olympus 2.1mp
Canon A530 5 mp
Kodak Easyshare C813 8.1 mp
Canon Rebel DSLR 6.0mp
Canon G9 12 mp

They all take great photos if you use them within their limits.

wow, you have 5 camera? cool. You must be into photography for you to own several of those cams. Good day!

I have a Canon A630 with 8.0 MP. My other camera is an Olympus 5050 with 5MP.
The Canon takes great pictures, is portable and dependable. The Olympus takes even better picture, as it has an excellent lens. Pixels do not matter on that one. It is the lens that counts. This camera was top of the line in 2003, but it eats batteries like candy.

My new camera for my job, which I get to buy next year, will spoil me, as it will be a 10 MP Nikon or Canon SLR.

You're right. the olympus camera really produces good pics. my wife had one before but gave it away to a close relative. I think it's still working well. Cheers!

Pixels are not everything, and sometimes too many pixels actually degrade the image, especially in poor light; they also sloww down processing time; but I have a phone cam with 5 Megapixels, a canon compact with 6 megapixels, a Panasonic with 7mp, a Canon SLR with 8mps and another Caono SLR rated at 15 mps. But the lenses, sensors and processors are all important to the final outcome, too, and you can't discount the skill of the photographer!
