Is there a difference between the megapixel in digital point&shoot cameras and slr cameras?




ilove.yoma


I have a point&shoot 7.1 megapixel Sony Cybershot camera, and I want to get a Nikon D40. It has 6.1 megapixel. Should I get it? Is it worth it? Is there a difference between the megapixel and quality I'll get between the two cameras?


Answer
A 6MP DSLR is much better than a 14MP point & shoot camera.

There are many reasons. The main ones are
1) physically larger pixels gather more light and create less noise @ higher ISOs.
2) larger sensor makes better prints (especially @ 8x10 or bigger) since the picture doesn't have to be enlarged as many times.
3) a better quality lens (even kit lenses are better)
4) room to grow as your skill or ambition dictate.

No matter how many pixels a P&S camera has, they tend to break down around 8x10. I've seen 6MP images blown up to 16x20 and they still looked good.

what are SLR's, and should i invest in one?

Answer
Well Idk what the cheapest DSLR is that is good but you can look on eBay. But you need to know that owning a DSLR is more than just buying the camera body. You buy lenses, filters, tripod, SD card, lighting equipment, good camera bag, reflector, etc. My first DSLR was $425 with the kit lens. it was released in 2006, I got it in early 2008. It is a good camera, I like it & it's easy to use, so it'd probably be cheaper now. It is the Pentax K100D. I also have a Nikon D3000 with 2 lenses but that is out of your price range. Since you're an aspiring model you are maybe wanting to take self portraits? You'd need a tripod definitely. Lighting equipment at first isn't a must..I have been shooting for 4 years & unfortunately I have none..but I at least want to buy a reflector soon. Good luck with finding a camera. I suggest you do a lot of research before buying one to see if it's really what you want.
