[QUOTE="aroy, post: 199668, member: 16090"] By better image I assume you mean better technically and not aesthetically.:tennis: More pixels will give you more details. If the picture is exposed perfectly and the DR of the scene reasonable, then even a tiny cell phone sensor will have excellent quality. After all while seeing on monitor or printing we rarely exceed 8 bits of resolution, while the DSLR cameras have any where between 12 and 16 bits of data. What it means is that though there can be upto 2^48 colours (16 bit image, 3 colours), our reproduction limits it to 2^24 only. What you can do with higher number of bits is to recover data from shadows or tone down the high lights, that is remap 12-16 bits to 8 bits per colour for visualization on screen or printer. Of course there are some devices which support 10 bits, but you are still below the 14 bit (Nikon) or 16 bit (MF) data in the image. Another thing to consider is that the denser the sensor (higher the MP), the finer the details. This means that the lens has to resolve better. Some older lenses are still upto it, but a lot of older designs start showing their short coming with higher density sensors. [/QUOTE]
