Let me explain what a megapixel is … please?
I'm looking for a good camera, because in a couple of weeks I'm trying to travel. A pair of cameras was looking at are the following. Go to amazon.com and look for the following: "Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 12x Stabilized Zoom Image "," Kodak EasyShare 8.2MP digital camera Z812IS with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom "," Kodak EasyShare Z650 6.1MP digital camera with optical zoom 10x "Look, I'm looking at these various Kodak cameras and have sample pictures and are about the same quality so I was wondering first if megapixels is even something to go by when purchasing the camera and the camera is best for my situation. I'm an amateur photographer, so I'm not good with the settings complex and just need a camera that will take good pictures of motion. A quick capture time would be great, too. My current camera takes forever to take the picture.
A megapixel megapixel is 1 million pixels, and is a term used not only for the number of pixels an image, but also to express the number of image sensor elements of digital cameras or the number of display elements of digital displays. For example, a camera with an array of 2048 × 1536 sensor elements is commonly said that "3.1 megapixel (2048 × 1536 = 3,145,728). The neologism Sensel sometimes used to describe the elements of a digital camera sensor, as it is photo-detection instead of producing the picture elements. [1] digital cameras sensitive electronic use, or charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors, which consists of a large number of individual sensor elements, each of which records a measured intensity level. In most digital cameras, the sensor array is covered with a mosaic pattern of color filter regions which have red, green and blue in the Bayer filter arrangement, so that each element of the sensor can record the intensity of a single primary color light. The camera interpolates the color information of neighboring sensor elements, through a process called demosaicing, to create the final image. These elements sensor are often called "pixels", despite having only 1 channel (only red or green, or blue) of the final color image. Thus, two three color channels for each sensor must be interpolated and a so-called N-megapixel camera produces an image of the N-megapixel provides only a third of the information an image the same size could get from a scanner. Thus, certain color contrasts may look blurry than others, depending on the allocation of primary colors (green has twice as many elements as red or blue in the Bayer arrangement). Unlike conventional image sensors, the Foveon X3 sensor uses three layers sensor elements, which detects the intensity of red, green and blue in each location in the array. This structure eliminates the need to de-mosaic and eliminates image artifacts associated, such as color blurring around sharp edges. Citing the precedent established by mosaic sensors, Foveon counts each single sensor element as a pixel color, although the size of native file output has only one pixel by three pixel camera. [1] With this method of counting, an N-megapixel Foveon X3 Capture therefore the same amount of information as an N-megapixel sensor Bayer-mosaic, even though information packets in fewer image pixels, without any type of interpolation. As to your question from the camera, I personally would buy the one with the most megapixels that would be the "Kodak Easyshare 8.2MP camera Z812IS 12x digital zoom with Image Stabilizer "
