The drive to own bigger, faster, smaller, and ultimately better things have made the average consumer myopic about what he really needs. Remember the first time VCRs came into the market? It flew off the shelves, but very few have really put all of its features to good use. Well, the one of the current frenzies has to do with pixels. People salivate at the thought of more dots per inch. And while this ratio does matter to computer screens and LCD televisions, it matters less for the photographer, especially your casual picture taker who likes to preserve every little thing his Siamese cat does. When it comes to megapixels, more doesn’t necessarily mean better.
