16MP Cameras??
I've been in the market for a new digital camera and I've noticed something odd. Back when I last even looked at digital cameras, everything was 6MP-8MP at the most. People said that sensors over 6MP were useless because the standard sensors at the time were so small that some sort of optical resolution limit made packing extra pixels in a useless task. Now I see cameras with 16 megapixels and I've been wondering have people just gone nuts or have they started using different types of sensors or larger sensors in the cameras?
What's the scoops? What's the lowdown PF! TELL MEEEEEEE
