I leave it to Richard to improve on this definition.
You are right. "Best way" is open to conjecture.
Let's go back to digital cameras for a moment here. Regarding your
previous assertion that noise is a separate issue from megapixel count
in a given sensor size, I disagreed then and still do.
The smaller the sensor photosites, the more that amplification is
required in order to achieve a reasonable signal level. More pixels on
a CCD of a given size will mean smaller photosites that will require a
higher degree of amplification than would larger photosites. That
situation will increase the amplification noise levels, resulting in a
decidedly higher megapixel count but at the expense of higher noise
levels. The better solution is to make the sensor larger to
accommodate the additional photosites, but that, of course, tends to
require a larger camera. The clear trend these days, even as makers
try to get folks to buy DSLRs, is to make those DSLRs and other camera
styles as small as is possible, once again for convenience, not for the
best image quality.
Personally, and from my preference in photography, I like a larger
and steadier camera, even though one of mine of such design has image
stabilization. I just do not like feather-weight miniature cameras
that jiggle with even just a heartbeat. I have one of those point and
shooters, but it is my "loaner" if someone needs it.
