My Xmas wishlist & the megapixel issue

[Onimusha]

Okay, I've worked hard all year like a dog. Now I think it's time to reward myself this christmas.
I'm pretty much set with my wish list:
- Xbox Game console
- DVD-Writer
- Bose Sound System ***
- LCD flat Monitor for my PC
- Digital camera with 5.0 megapixel

Except maybe for the Bose entertainment system I am certain that I will get myself the rest of the list - one way or the other.
However, I'm still having second thoughts on whether or not to get past that 5.0 megaPixel issue.
Some say I don't really need it. Some say I should get at least 5 megapixel.

Cue me, please!!!

[TCardona]

If it is within your budget, go ahead, buy it! :lol:
That's quite a wish list list you have there!

[FlushedMX]

Paunay ket dayta nga listaanen? :lol:
Siak an-anusak daytoy 2x4x6 nga cd-burner ko :lol:

Ti kunada man ket no i-print mo dayta pictures iti 8 x 10, you need at least 5 Megs tapno napintas diay quality na. Nu pang-email lang husto dayta 2 megapixelen. Ti kunada...

I just want a farm lot in Ilocos Norte and Cagayan.

I just wish our political leaders peace even only during this holiday season.

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE!

5 megapixel will yield a photo-realistic prints on larger media, say, 8 X 10.
If you just want to post your pictures on the internet - say on INOL, a lower megapixel will do - maybe 1.4. You probably can even use your cell-phone or your watch...

Should you consider giving away any of your "gizmos" - I'll be happy to lend you a storage in my house :lol:

[Greggy]

Onimusha, it takes a "good" photographer to take a good picture.
What I'm saying is this:

Even if you have a high-end, top-of-the-line digital camera if you have a "shaky" hand, and you're one who doesn't read the intruction manual - you are not going to get what you want on your pictures.

Plus, nowadays, there are dig. cameras that are packed with a lot of features and for a regular guy like me, I'm not savvy enough to learn these. In fact, if I do try learn the features, it may take a "lifetime". :lol:

If you can wait a little longer, you will be able to buy a 5 Megapixel digicam for the price of 3 megapixel :lol:

greatone, if that's my attitude, I will never get to buy my "toys" :lol:

[BB-M]

I agree!
Because the evolution of technology is so rapid, waiting for the latest/best is of no essence. When you want something today, so long as you have the money, go for it, technologically-speaking :lol:

[Alistair]

Anakin's right.
I have a 1.0 Megapixel Nikkon Coolpix which I bought 5 years ago - this was right around the time when digital cameras first came out.

I've tried printing photos but the images are too pixelated even on a 4 x 6 print. I'll get me one those "fivish" or "threeish" this Christmas.

[Onimusha]

I guess the verdict is in:

Go with the "fivish"!!!

Actually, I got it this "Thanksgiving Sale"!!!

[Unai]

Naimbag kayo pay. Siak an-anusak daytay Kodak nga disposable piman :D

[gr8-one]

Kayat ko koma met ti mapan ag-Post-Thanksgiving Day shopping ngem masadutak met nga mapan makipila.
Ken maysa pay, awan ti I-shopping!!!

[BB-M]

Pareho ta, kabsat!

Tapno mabalin ko manen nga usaren diay media card. Husto kadi? (nagrigat la ketdin ti agsurat iti ilokanon aya! hmmpph!!!)

[InabrawSaluyot]

I want a seven piece stage drum set with hi hat and 3 cymbals :)

[Onimusha]

Smart media comes in different sizes (storage size). Just buy some extra media.

[BB-M]

Sony Memory Stick, dakdakkel ti capacity na. Ayan na nga ganas, amangan ta sony product laeng iti pakausaram.
Ben, no adda preview/view screen ta cameram, mabalin mo met nga i-delete dagidiay haan mo nga magustuan ket i-retake mo manen. So basbassit iti masayang nga storage.

[BenLopez]

ok, so whats with the optical zoom and digital zoom?

dadduma adda digital zoom na ngem awan optical zoom na.
anya kadi ti diperensiya na?

[Greggy]

Don't be fooled by a digital camera loaded with digital zoom but lacking in optical zoom.

Nu awan optical zoom na, madim gat-gatangen uray man ket kasta unay iti dgital zoom na. Didiay optical ti kitaem nu gumatang ka.

USERS OF SD CARDS OR SECURE DIGITAL CARDS, TAKE NOTE:

THERE'S A NEW BREED OF SD CARDS THAT MAY NOT WORK IN YOUR CAMERAS THAT USE THE OLDER KIND, IT IS CALLED SDHC OR SECURE DIGITAL HIGH CAPACITY CARDS. THE ELECTRICAL CONFIGURATION INSIDE IS VERY MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE OLDER ONE SO WHEN YOU USE IT IN YOUR OLD CAMERA, IT MAY CORRUPT YOUR CARD, OR WORSE, IT MAY CORRUPT THE CAMERA BEYOND REPAIR, AND THE CARD. THESE CARDS HAVE BECOME MORE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE OF THEIR INCREASED CAPACITIES. SO MY ADVICE IS, GO BACK TO YOUR CAMERA MANUAL AND CHECK IF YOUR CAMERA IS SDHC COMPLIANT/COMPATIBLE/READY[b] IF IT IS NOT, STAY AWAY FROM IT.

AND HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW MUCH GIGABYTES THESE NEW BREEDS CAN HAVE? THE SDHC CONSORTIUM, MEANING THOSE COMPANIES THAT SUPPORT AND MANUFACTURE SDHC CARDS - AND THERE ARE MANY OF THEM NOW, HOPES TO UP THE CAPACITY TO A MAXIMUM OF 32 GIGABYTES. MIND-BOGGLING, ISN'T IT :?:

[daguerrson]

WITH REGARDS TO THE MEGAPIXEL ISSUE, WHAT YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR NOW IS THE 10 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA AND THERE ARE MANY NOW UNDER ONE GRAND OF THE DSLR CLASS. WHAT I KNOW AS OF THIS WRITING, THERE ARE TWO FROM OLYMPUS, ONE FROM SONY, ONE FROM PENTAX, TWO FROM CANON, AND TWO FROM NIKON.

DSLR, BY THE WAY, MEANS DIGITAL SINGLE-LENS REFLEX CAMERA.
