Why Megapixels Don’t Matter (and What You Should Focus On Instead)

Most of us have been conditioned to believe that a higher megapixel count directly correlates with better image quality. After all, 24, 61, and even 100-megapixel cameras are on the market, promising incredible detail and sharpness. In fact, they might not matter as much as you think.  In this video, PhotographyExplained breaks down why more megapixels don’t always lead to better images.

I have come to that conclusion a long time ago and it is why I now use older cameras these days, a Nikon P7000 which is only 10mp, a Sony Hx60 which is 20mp but has a tiny sensor like the Nikon and my main camera which is a Lumix FZ330 that has only 12mp yet takes photos as good as my old Olympus EM5ii used to take

This is a rationalization for people who cannot afford newer, better cameras.
