Upgrade Photographs / Downgrade Equipment? What’s up?

Photo By:Bruna MirandaYesterday, I upgraded and I downgraded. I upgraded from a standard Free Flickr Account to a Pro Account, and I downgraded from my Canon 5D with L series lenses (stats) to my old Konica-Minolta Dimage A2 (stats) dSLR-like camera. So what’s the deal?

I’d found that I was restricting the images that I posted on Flickr to a great degree. Now, while that is a good thing to do, and while it does give you the compulsion to show off only your best work, it also makes me restrict my images to under 200 in total and I’ve not been posting much because of that. Now that I’ve jumped in the pool (with a measly $25), I’m going to have to post photographs more frequently, and of course, keep increasingly my image quality.

I did say “Increasing My Image Quality” just now, didn’t I? So why am I downgrading my camera? It seems illogical even to me. However, I do believe in this little post I made some time ago entitled “Its the photographer, not the gear” Where I boldly stated that a better camera does not equal a better photograph.

I’m going to put that statement (and my photography skills) to the test. In the next few months I’m going to re-explore my photography and put up photographs taken for

How many megapixels should my camera have?

The more megapixels (MP) you have, the higher the resolution of your photos. Higher resolution is important for enlarging photos, or cropping and enlarging portions of them. This chart shows how large a photo you can print in relation to your camera's megapixels.

A 6 to 8 MP camera will equal that for most purposes. On a pocket style camera, ignore all digital zoom claims. look for a good optical zoom. 3X is okay, higher is better for long shots. In pocket cameras look for one that uses AA batteries rather than proprietary ones that require cables and charges.

In an article by by Marty Rubenski Digital Cameras: How Many Pixels Do I Need?

He says :

Higher megapixel cameras do have some drawbacks. The first, and most obvious, is price. A basic 5.0 megapixel camera currently runs between $200 and $300. A 1.2 megapixel camera can be had for less than $50.

Storage for those large pictures will also cost you more. A 32 MByte memory card will hold around a hundred 1.2 megapixel pictures. This drops right down to around 60 pictures for 2.0 megapixels and to around 40 pictures for a 3.0 megapixel model. One other consideration, not often mentioned, is that a higher megapixel camera has to do more work to compress and store images, leading to longer waits between picture shots and viewing.

Before you rush off and spend $300 for a camera,
