Re: [Texascavers] photography related - cameras in the news

Resolution is a direct engineering trade off with dynamic-range in most 
sensor designs, many cameras employ "pixel-binning" when used at lower 
resolutions which increases real quality of the images by allowing 
multiple photo sites to contribute to the tonal data of a single real pixel.

    12 Megapixels means nothing if you're using a 3mm Bayer CMOS with
    a terrible signal to noise ratio. The photos will still look like
    really nasty.

    When will this stupid megapixel myth die?
