[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 489916, member: 8330"] IMO it's just marketing. Marketers realized a long time ago that if you can quantify a product then it's easier to sell it. Like car manufacturers market numbers like HP, MPG, Torque, braking distance, crash ratings, etc. For phones its a MP race. If you ask 10 people what camera phone they would rather have a 8MP or 16MP camera phone, I bet all 10 say 16MP phone. They're not concerned about sensor size, max and min apertures and ISO performance. So because of this, it's a race to see who can pack the most MP in a sensor. [/QUOTE]
