How good is 5.0 megapixels for a camera?

My camera is 10 mega pixels. The higher amount of pixels the better value and quality the picture is. I assume that only 5 mega pixels is pretty low and the pictures that you take won't be as good quality as, say, 10 mega pixels.

In the article "Digital Photography: How many Megapixels Do You Need?" (at http://www.naturesimage.com.au/page/77145/default.asp) the professional photographer Andrew Goodall says good pictures up to 8"x12" can be taken with a 5MP camera:-

You can produce good, high quality prints up to 8x12 inch (20x30cm), and probably larger, with a five megapixel camera. This is not a compromise; I doubt you would see any improvement in print quality taking the same picture on a ten megapixel camera. Certainly you would see a difference if you enlarged the photo to poster size, but (as we have discussed), very few people reading this article are likely to do that.

Please do not see these comments as negative. I would never suggest that anyone who has bought a more powerful camera has wasted their money. Your upmarket camera probably came with an extra feature or two that adds to the fun you can have with photography. And of course, it is nice to know you could make giant prints from your photos…even though we both know you possibly never will.

The important thing is not how many megapixels the camera has, but how well-focussed and sharp the original photo was in the first place. A camera with more megapixels doesn't make you a better photographer: a poor 6"x4" will be an atrocious A4 size photo (Hint: focus on the eyelashes.)

Can video cameras take pics and videos?

When dealing with digital camcorders each different design and make has different features. Not all camcorders will have the ability to take digital photos. Some have a photo mode, which basically means it freeze frames the footage and saves it to be viewed as an image. However if you are filming at the time it momentarily interrupts the flow for roughly 5 seconds and the quality versus a camera is considerably reduced too.

How do digital frames get their pictures?

Digital frames work essentially as very limited and small computers.

What does a camera look like?

Digital Cameras look almost like Film Cameras, only Digital Cameras are more "Computerized" and don't use film. Digital Cameras have an Addition from Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO, they have Mega Pixels which tell you what quality the photos come out as. Lower MP say 1.2MP is mostly used in cheaper Digital Cameras or web cameras, more expensive cameras can go up to 12.5MP or more, Digital Cameras also have an LCD Display so you can view photos instantly.

The difference between Film and Digital is that with film once you take a photo its permanent on the film, Digital Cameras enable you to reuse the Memory card since you are able to delete photos.

How do you move photos from memory card to flash drive?

==Windows== One needs to plug the flash card into the computer in some way. If it is USB, simply plug it into the USB port in the back or front of your tower. If it is an SD card, you'll need a "Card Reader" in order to put it in. Most USB flash drives are "Plug & Play" in that they should install within 10 minutes of being plugged in to the PC. After, head on over to "My Computer" and you should see a "Removable Disk Drive" or "Removable Drive" or similair, open the drive as you would a folder (double click it) and drag and drop files. ==Mac== A USB icon will appear on your desktop after the flash drive is plugged in. It looks similair to a Hard Disk icon but is white. Open it, and drag and drop files onto it.

Is a 50mm lens considered normal if using a 35mm camera?

Yes, when using a 35mm format film, the 50mm prime lens is considered a "normal" or "natural view" lens.

This does not hold true when using a Digital SLR camera (DSLR) because the sensor for most cameras is not 35mm size (36 by 24mm). Entry level and enthusiast level DSLRs often have sensors that are about half size (18 mm wide) and therefore the 50mm lens is equivalent to a slight zoom. A 35mm or 28mm prime lens is closer to that natural view.

Some of the more expensive DSLR cameras have a full size sensor and thus have the same magnification and characteristics of the 35mm film camera.

How does white balance affect a photo?

White balance is the term used to describe how does the camera balance the temperature of the image. As the name suggests, it's balancing the camera to the right temperature of color so that white is white.

What are the two types of sensors in digital cameras?

Sensors are devices that can take the light let into the camera and convert the bits of data into colored pixels, "digitalizing" it, if you will. The two sensors are CCD (charge coupled device) and CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors. They each have their pros and cons and are used in different cameras for different reasons.

Can you transfer photos easily from your Hewlett Packard digital camera to your computer?

What is the difference between a picture and a photograph?

Pictures are photographs that are framed, and therefore properly developed. "Picture" is the more generic term, and includes any kind of visual representation, whether it is drawn, painted, photographed or produced by some other means. You could even call a naturally produced image a "picture". The word picture can even refer to a memory or mental process that is by nature completely immaterial. "Photograph" virtually always refers to a physical image created with chemical or digital imaging technology.
