To print high quality 4x6 pictures, how many megapixels should a digital camera have?

High quality 4 *6 pictures isn't a problem for a 2 megapixel camera.For a good 8*10 photo you need a 4 megapixel camera.


How can you tell how many pictures are left on your card?

You will need to know how much space each picture consumes. You camera should allow you to adjust your capture settings. An average high quality print quality photo is between 1.5 and 2.5 MB per picture.


How many megapixels will I need for a photo shoot of diamond jewelry?

It depends on how big you want to print. Optimal quality will be reached by printing at around 300dpi. Here's some figures for some common sizes with arbitrary example cameras:* 2.7 megapixels (2000x1312, early Nikon D1s): 6" 2/3, or about 170mm. * 3.1 megapixels (2160x1440, Canon D30): 7 inches, or about 182mm. * 6 megapixels (3072x2048, Canon D60 and 300D): 10 inches, or about 260mm. * Just under 8 megapixels (3456x2304, Canon 350D): 11" 1/2, or about 292mm. * 12 megapixels (4288 x 2848, Nikon D2x): 1' 2", or about 363mm. Assuming a 3:2 aspect ratio (as is very common on digital SLRs), you can work out the largest print you will get from a camera with the following((mp * 10**6) / (2.0 / 3.0)) ** .5Where mp is your number of megapixels. If you want to know the number of megapixels you will need to get a 300dpi print of a given width, then you do this:( ((inches * 300) * ( (inches * 300) / (2/3) ) )) / 1000000Where inches is the length of the longest side of the size at which you want to print. You can replace 300 with a lower value if you're not after a 300dpi print, and change "2/3" if you want to use an aspect ratio other than 3:2. You can ignore all the discussion of print sizes above if you're taking photos for Web use only. Even the 2.7mp camera would suffice for this.Note that there are many factors which matter far more than megapixels for something like this. To wit:* A picture from a cheap 10mp point-and-shoot camera will be of far worse quality, and will not be able to be printed as large, than a picture shot with a digital SLR with far fewer pixels. This is because of the small sensors in the former category of cameras. Stuffing more pixels into a small space leads to more noise; the camera applies lots of noise reduction to reduce this, but this will also nuke fine details, largely negating any extra resolution you would have gained from the extra pixels! Get yourself a digital SLR if you're serious. * Lenses. You'll probably need a good-quality macro lens to shoot smaller objects. * Lighting. Get tons of it.


How do you change to 1080p on a toshiba 46sl412u?

The Toshiba 46sI412u is already a 1080p LED TV. If you are using this TV with a cable box, you need to do fix the picture quality on the cable box. Some cable boxes will automatically detect the picture quality.


How can you tell what the maximum picture size is that you can print out from your digital images?

The more pixels the larger the print you can make with good quality. You don't not need a camera with a lot of pixels if you primarily print size is 5x7 or smaller. 3 megapixels would do just fine. Don't be duped by this more megapixels the better the picture hype. That, as a rule, is true only if you making large prints. Rule of thumb for determining maximum print size: MULTIPLY the PIXEL SIZE of you picture. (length x width) and devide the answer by one million (1000000) Example 1024x768 = 786432 divided by 1000000 =786432. First two digets 7x8 or round off to 8x10. Remember this is a guide line it is not perfect. But good enough for most purposes.


How good is 8.2 megapixels for a camera?

i dont think so... i guess it depends on the camera you want to get. an average computer screen is over 800 pixels tall. if all you are talking about in your camera is the display, then maybe. how good the display is says nothing about how good the camera is. but if that is all you are getting out of the picture, then absolutely not. a pixel is like, the size of a pin-point.

Upconversion, or upsampling, refers to the ability to take a low-quality impage and interpolate the pixels to create a better quality picture.


Does a 3.2 mega pixel mobile phone give a good quality image?

The number of pixels in the image has rather little to do with actual image quality. What it determines is the maximum print size that the photo still looks good in. You only really need more in terms of megapixels if you want to see larger prints in the end. Other than that, picture quality will be determined by the quality/size of the lens as well as the quality/size (physical dimensions, not megpixels) of the sensor. Mobile phones usually perform poorly due to limitations of the size of the lens/sensor. Pictures are typically noisy, especially in low light, and overall sharpness and color range come nowhere near what you would get in a regular camera (even a point-and-click model). Modern mobiles usually feature an autofocus camera, which may produce a slightly "better" (more aesthetic) picture, but most are dismally slow to focus. Fixed focus performs faster. All-in-all, the fact that a cell phone's camera has a 3.2 megapixel resolution says very little - if anything - about picture quality.
