How Many mega pixles is YOUR camera? Oh my camera phone is 5.0mp!

“Wow your pictures are so clear, how many mega-pixels is your camera?”

OK, this is probably the most hated question I have been asked about my photography. Not because I am ashamed of my camera’s highest possible resolution but because it is a very very ignorant question. Most times I cant be bothered to start an explanation so I would say “Its 10.0mp”. But the truth is by default I take all photographs at only 2.0mp with ‘basic quality’ (yes not even ‘normal’)… But at times I would get into a discussion about the topic and start explaining why my 2.0pm photos are clearer than their 5.0mp camera phone photographs. Yes, I’ll explain with time. That’s a blog for another day!

 

But lesson of the day: please don’t appear to be ignorant and ask people how many megapixles their camera is!
