Why does a 3 megapixel and 14 megagapixel photos look the same?

[QUOTE="aroy, post: 358857, member: 16090"] For posting on the web, even 2MP is overkill, as at the most the HD monitor can display 2MP. Apple monitors have a higher resolution, but even then you are less than 5MP. 4K monitors will be able to display at 12MP. Till then unless you print, 5MP is over kill. That said, you buy a DSLR camera for more than mega pixels . Interchangeable lenses so that you can shoot as small as 2mm bug to an animal 1/2 km away . Low noise, so that your image is just not grains in sub par light . Ability to attach external flash (or multiple flash) for better control over light . High speed shooting with practically no lag for sports and action. Try that with a cell phone or a P&S - you will most probably miss the shot . And of course 36MP to 80MP gives you huge prints with tremendous details, That is why even the older 5 and 7MP DSLR were superior as a system to the current crop of 10-16MP cell phones. [/QUOTE]
