Re: CF: Clickers Corner
OK Peanut thanks for that. I have a photo editing prog on my PC, but I just wondered if I had the settings wrong on my camera.

Re: CF: Clickers Corner
Gigapixel cameras here in a few years?
Quote:
Most consumer cameras currently on the market are capable of taking photographs ranging from eight to 40 megapixels.
Pixels are basically individual "dots" of data - and the higher the number of pixels, the better resolution of the image.
The researchers believe that within five years, as the electronic components of the cameras become miniaturised and more efficient, the next generation of gigapixel cameras should be available to the general public.
"The camera is so large now because of the electronic control boards and the need to add components to keep it from overheating," Mr Brady said.
"As more efficient and compact electronics are developed, the age of hand-held gigapixel photography should follow."

Perhaps we don't need such a high figure but cropping an image taken with a gigapixel camera will have less degredation of image quality as a result.
My 12 megapixel DSLR is good enough for me but image quality does take a hit when cropping an image even though i do shoot in RAW so editing is less destructive.
