Golden Hour I have been reading and thinking a lot lately about megapixels, and how it might impact my own photography. I use Nikon equipment, but the same applies to all brands. How much is enough and when are other features more important to the photographer. The megapixels, dynamic range, and IQ are all products of the image sensor. I know technology will drive the contest of how many megapixels a sensor can produce forward, but again when is enough, enough? Probably never according to some, and we are there according to others. If you don't print super size pictures, I am of the camp that we are quite good where we are. I considered getting the Nikon D800 with it's 36mp sensor, but many photographers don't want or need files that large. I think it (D800) is the best DSLR on the market as of now. My newer Nikon (D600) is 24mp and is so close to the D800 in IQ and dynamic range I opted for the smaller file sizes. The images it produces are amazing in my opinion. It does use up less computer memory and helps solve ongoing storage problems. So maybe focusing on further improving dynamic range, lower noise with higher ISO's, and overall performance is better than just adding more and more megapixels to the sensor. Just my ramblings for today. Weigh in on this subject, I would love to hear your opinions. May the best of light follow you!
