Graphics Unleashed's Digital Camera Buyer's Guide

Terms to Understand

Megapixel: First, we need to understand pixels. These are the tiny dots that make up a digital image. Each pixel can be one of 16.7 million colors. So let's say that a camera is capable of taking images at 640 pixels x 480 pixels. A little math shows us that such an image would contain 307,200 pixels or .3 megapixels. Now let's say the camera takes 1024 x 768 images. That gives us .8 megapixels. So the larger the number of megapixels, the more image detail you get.

The real question is whether or not you need all that extra detail. Are you just going to use the images on the Internet? If so, a 1 megapixel camera gives you more pixels than you need. The chart below gives you an idea of what resolutions will work for a given print size. Anything over 150 dpi is in green, 125-149 is in yellow, 73-124 in orange and 72 and below is in red.

Another thing to consider is that large images take up more space on the memory card. That means fewer total images and more transferring of images to the computer. This isn't very convenient if you have to lug a laptop everywhere you go on your vacation.

Resolution in dpi

Digital Zoom vs. Optical Zoom: You're going to see both of these terms used and they can be a bit confusing. Optical zooming is done with the camera lens. It is a good thing. Digital zoom is done by interpolating pixels. This is similar to upsampling an image in your favorite image editor. It is not nearly as good as optical zoom and can actually be a bad thing.
