The more pixels, the worse the images
It has been known for a couple of years now that increasing the number of pixels in digital cameras does not lead to better images. Therefore Image Engineering, an independent test lab, has set up a website which demonstrates and describes the problems caused by high pixel counts.

If you want to support this initiative please write a comment and we will add a link to your website.
