I have a 5 mp, is it really worth going to a 10 mp?

I have heard that anything over 5 mp is a waste.

Sudy,

5 mp is a great resolution level. You will see a difference in going to 10 though. I have a 3.2, a 5 and an 8 that all give me great results. I see a big advantage of the higher resolution cameras is the ability to crop your photos and still maintain resolution when blowing photos up or printing them. This gives more freedom in your photos to do what you want with them later. Good luck and happy shooting.

Andrew

Hey! I've got a better answer! I want those points!!! ok... I'll just answer because I wanna help you.
Have you ever seen that they say that more pixels is better? Have you ever compared pictures of cameras that are almost the same, but one with 5 and the other one with 7... or 10 and 8? Which one makes better pictures? Almost anyone will answer that it's the 10 mp one. And most of them... are wrong.
The pictures are created in the sensor of the image. It's well known that one of the things that determinates the image quality, is how much light goes to each pixel... right? Well... if you've got a 10 mp with an 1/1,8" ( 7.18 x 5.32 mm) sensor, the pixel is smaller than if you've got to make 8 mp (divide the area of the sensor for the quantity of pixels). That means that it will recieve less light... what means worse image quality. Do you need to make a 6 x 4 foots image? Well... if you don't, just go for a 6 mp, 7... or just stay with the 5 mp.

Hope this helps you...
Alan.
