[QUOTE="STM, post: 125660, member: 12827"] No, what i was saying is that with the advent of digital cameras, it seems that so many people get far too wrapped around the axle when it comes to how many megapixels this camera has versus that camera. Of if my camera has 16 megapixels it must obviously be a better camera than your 12 megapixel one. At some point it reaches the absurd. Of course you should be familiar with your camera and its capabilities, but from what I have seen from following several photography forums for over 13 years now, it seems far too many people just get so wrapped up in the technical [I]minutae[/I] and forget that when it all comes down to it, the camera itself is just a tool, a recording device. And actually when it comes to being a nerd, I am a Clinical Miicrobiologist, we are some of the [I]biggest nerds around.
