how many MP camera is needed for a good postcard size printout?
Click to expand...

3.2MP is more than a enough..it gives u a res of 2048 x 1536

i guess that answers ur question...even a 1MP will be slightly bigger than the postcard size fotograph
 
just found out...look out for the sony DSC P40 or S40..both are sliightly old models...4.1MP ..u shud get it for about 10-11k
 
also i see nikon 7600 for 12k on ebay is it good and can i trust ebay?

also which should be given preference higher MP or Optical zOOm
 
use ebay only as a reference. its usually much cheaper in the market than ebay. however, if its second hand then ebay is ok.

i dont think u require anything above 3MP for ur needs. also its not just the MP but the quality of the lens also that produces good images. so go for a good company like sony or nikon (they use carl zeiss and nikor lenses respectively, and excellent clarity). though u may get higher MP from cheaper companies.

also some companies, have only a 2MP sensor but claim 5 or even 6MP via interpolation. avoid these like the plague. they might be very cheap, around 5k for a 5MP camera. DONT FALL FOR IT.

optical zoom is very important and should be considered as important as the lens, resolution. DO NOT EVEN BOTHER ABOUT DIGITAL ZOOM.

stick with a sony or nikon and u should be fine. i prefer a sony as i find its image quality slightly better and ofcorse the better night shots as it has a great flash.

Guys..

what i will advice is go for 5MP or 7MP camera :D
dont try for other brands than Nikon / Sony.

I know that even 1.3 MP is also enough for postcard size photo but.. :no:

imagine you went to some good place and (Nature) or something you captured and wants to have as big as possible.
spending 15K and getting camera which is at least 5MP can be futureproof.

i know printing such a large image will be very costly but when you wanted to have one and that time your camera is not supporting then :@ :@ :@

Try JJ Mehta. just mail him your requirements and budget he will revert back you what he can offer.
Great searvice.

Canon Powershot A95 is good one i found.
Sagar has purchased it from JJ @15K but that was 4 months back.
you might get some discount.
get more memory you can.
 
guys the postcard size requirement was a bare necessity, i love photography and would like to have a camera with lot of options like setting the exposure duration n all if possible.
 
i had a look at the canon a95 and was impressed by the features the only thing i found as demerit is the video recording one. I am looking for one with good video recording capability also. Also can anyone explain me what is the use of this ISO 100 ...ISO 400?
 
I enquired in local grey market and they quoted 10500 for Nikkon 5600 model. I am thinking of buying it. I am still confused with what these ISO speeds mean to digital cameras
 
Hey do Google........

info is avaliable there.

no time to edit it and format so try yourself.
bye the way i feel 5600 is good. at least features.

check for warranty and service.
 
iso speed and shutter speeds are different.

it means how sensitive ur digicam is to light, highest speed iso means more noise.
 
ISO relates to the sensitivity of the capturing device to light. Higher the number, higher the sensitivity.

For ex, ISO400 is more sensitive to light that ISO100. Meaning, if u take pictures at both ratings in dim lit conditions, pistures taken with ISO400 rating will be better. However, on the downside, higher sensitivity also contributes to more 'grains' in the picture. Grains is the 'noise' in the picture :)

higher ISO rating is best suited for dim/dark lit conditions, fast/action photography. lower speeds are best for best quality :D

The BASICS of ISO.....In regular still cameras which use film the ISO speed indicates the speed of the film - the slowest being around 50 and fast ones go upto 400+. The slower the film the finer its grain and it has higher sharpness of the image (called accutance) - but also more chance for camera shake and less depth of field - not good for night and sports photography. The faster the film the better for sports and night pictures but the grain of the film is too large for a smooth image. So you have to use a film appropriate for the subject.

They have taken this system into Digital cameras giving an option for preference for fast shutter speeds for sports and low light situation pictures with a setting for high ISO speed and similarly setting low ISO for taking high defination pictures in normal light levels. A high ISO speed in Digital cameras can be translated into a boosting of light level to enable taking pictures in low light levels at the cost of smooth image quality.

I hope I have been of help and have not confused you more :S
 
Here is a comparison of 2 similar pictures one taken at ISO 400 and one at ISO 50 .... check out the difference...
ISO 400

ISO 50

Looking at these pictures I am sure people will want to shoot at ISO 50 ...... but at this speed you WILL need a tripod whilst the ISO 400 picture could most possibly be shot with a hand held camera.

See this full article here.. there are comaprisons for all the ISO's here.
