Importance of minimum number of Megapixels

The Medium

How and where pictures are shown determines the minimum number of megapixels needed from a digital camera. The resolution chosen is very important:

  • Not enough megapixels means your pictures will appear unsharp or blurry.
  • Too many megapixels means you will spend more for your camera and its memory.
  • Frequently cameras with more megapixels produce images which are more noisy.
