Megapixels

One way to compare digital SLR cameras is by megapixels.It's easy to be known by numbers,you might be thought a higher number of megapixels means the camera take good photos right?I will tell you no,not exactly.Megapixels are useful for those who have intention or interest to make large print or to crop your photos a lot.But if you run out and buy a camera with tons of megapixels that is missing other key of features, then you'll probably be disappointed with your SLR as time goes on.
















































Features


There are other features that will help you compare digital SLR cameras beside megapixels.I'll list of some other features to look for:

.Built-in anti-shake

.Extended dynamic range

.Self-cleaning sensors

.Live preview LCD

.ISO range

.Continuous Photo Speed also known as Burst Rate

.Size and Weight

The number of megapixels the camera has is just one of the important factors to consider.For example let's say that your torn between a 12 megapixel camera and a 10 megapixel camera.The 10 megapixel camera has built-in anti-shake which reduces camera vibrations and produces clearer shots, while the 12 megapixel camera does not have and you're type of person who hate to use a tripod and to take photos in low-light conditions then i shall ask you to stick with the 10 megapixel camera because it will serve you better in the long run while the 12 megapixel camera will be able to let you print larger prints,the anti-shake is more useful feature given the types of photos you love to take.


Comparing by Megapixels

I've briefed basically what is megapixels all about,now you can go ahead and compare digital SLR cameras by megapixels.

You'll be surprise and worthwhile to see just how many each digital SLR has and provides some valuables insight.

I'll be listing down the prices of the cameras along with the number of megapixels which should make something very clear "cameras with more megapixels are more expensive".

This is another reason why you should be 100% sure you need the megapixels before you go out and get an SLR with a lot of them.
