If you print many large photos, do you want a higher or lower resolution camera?

Question

It is the higher resolution right

Answer 1

High, high resolution will give you more dots per milimeter, inch, etc. Which will cause the dots to be closer together...making the picture look more concentrated and vivid

Answer 2

Higher. The higher the resolution, the more pixels will fit in a square inch.

By the time you get to an 8 x 10 inch print, a three megapixel image will reveal big, fat pixels. A five meg image may show some pixelization, but not from a few feet away. In a 10 meg image, it may take a strong magnifying glass to even SEE a distinct pixel.

Answer 3

I'm not terribly digital savvy but as I understand it, resolution for printed photographs should be in the 280-300ppi (pixels per inch) Most viewers cannot discern a difference higher than 300. So really it's a question of math, take the size you want to print and figure out if you have enough pixels.

Answer 4

It's not the resolution that matters the most but the camera and the lense. For example, a 6MP Nikon D70 with a standard lens will give a far better image than a 12MP compact Fuji. But havign said that, don't go anything below 6MP.

Answer 5

The more pixels the better, the higher the pixels the better the image plus you can always choose the image size. with a lower pixels size you have less image size options.

Answer 6

YOU WANT A HIGHER RES CAMERA IF YOU ARE GOING TO ENLARGE THEM SO YOU HAVE MORE TO WORK WITH SO WHEN YOU START BLOWING THE PIC UP THEY DON'T GET DISTORTED AND FUZZY AS EASY THEY WILL WITH A LOWER RES CAMERA

Answer 7

Yes - higher.

Answer 8

right!
