8.1MP or 10.1MP?
After doing quite a lot of research and trialling, I've decided to purchase a Canon DSLR. (Thanks to those who answered my previous camera-related question).
Now herein lies my problem; do I capture an 8.1 or 10.1 MP camera? How obvious are the differences between these two, and for someone like me who's lately experimenting with photography, does it really make a difference?
If anyone can back clarify, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Answers: When you get up to 8 going to 10 would theoretically be better. However, unless you are enlarge to make prints the size of billboards you will never see the difference.
Recently, Olan Mills was taking portraits at my church. They enjoy switched from medium format (larger than 35mm) film cameras to professional DSLR's that are 5 Mp.
It depends how large you are going to want to blow up your pictures. If you are planning on showing them A3 size or bigger, go for the 10MP.
Megapixels essentially determine how big you can have the images and retain them as one and the same quality. On a small screen, they will look equal.

There is such a article as too many megapixels. :)
For an entry-level DSLR, anything above 8.0 is really just for show. Besides, experience have shown us that cramming in too megapixels results in particle, both on-screen and in print. Megapixels only concern when you want to make prints larger than A3/poster-size. So unless you want to do that, go for the cheaper, lower-megapixel camera -- even 6.0 is more than plenty -- and invest in good part lenses instead.
Good luck!
