Well, choosing the perfect compact camera is simple (although most reviews will tell you that there isn’t a perfect camera). Read on to find out why choosing a perfect compact camera is so simple.
Megapixels!
We have to admit, the number of megapixel never seem to be satisfying. However, believe it or not, an picture can be even worse taken with a high megapixel camera then from a lower megapixel camera!
This is weird but true. This is because each and every pixel has its own microscopic lens, and each lens is divided by a microns-wide wall to prevent light from falling from one pixel to the other which then reduces the image quality. These microns-wide wall are removed or become really thin because it needs to fit in nine, ten or even twelve megapixels into that little sensor.
I know that most people wouldn’t understand what I’ve just said in the previous paragraph. Anyways, to put an end to the mysterious world of the interiors of the camera, it basically means that because the sensor of the compact digital camera is so small that it would be impossible to fit all the eight, nine, ten or twelve megapixel, and so cause the walls that separate the pixels are broken! And because the light can fall on the other pixels, the picture will not only have lower contrast but be grainier and fuzzier!
Alright, this is all I’m going to write for now. Look out for the updates! If you have anything to comment or have any questions, feel free to comment!
