No matter what kind of photographer you are, be it a wedding photographer, sports photographer, or just as a hobby, you are fully aware of the megapixel race. Stamps, which appears to be slower today. Canon always pushing the largest number of pixels the camera, while Nikon has made full efforts to remain at low pixel volume. What took an unexpected turn in recent months with Nikon now pushing a stupid amount of pixels on the D800 and Canon 38MP decides to stay low, 22MP. Canon has also added his unique system of Focus in its latest incarnation, its medium-sized professional camera. Please all photographers no doubt.
It will be interesting times in the coming years to see how the camera manufacturer's loyalty lies. The new breed, to show his face in the race for low-noise high ISO sensors and focus on increasing the dynamic range. The problem is there are still people who want more megapixels. Before the various models lacked some features, but can still be used in all areas. Today Wedding willing 22MP, but the landscape photographers, as well as some studio photographers who shoot models will have more megapixels.
The biggest problem is the high definition file storage that requires computing power and need to manipulate or Lightroom or Photoshop. With rising energy costs, PC or Mac to do some very strong work processing to these files as you wishes. The new version of Photoshop, coming in May Photoshop CS6 promotes faster graphics cards more than ever. But still it is not suitable for use in lower resolution files, and then uses hardware acceleration.
It's not just your stuff is. You have to think about backups on optical media. Even the largest drives can work with only 50 GB, and when it was much earlier, 38MP files are for biting, it will be the greatest time.
In the coming months to shoot, we are even more exciting line of products from the bad Micro Four Thirds cameras. While Canon jumped on the board, mirror less now, you can bet that they are already hard at work to begin very soon. SLR is certainly come to stay, but this is not the first to market, including the rebel lines clearly visible shift towards the smaller version.
