which is the one that matters The 2 resolutions you read off are seperate cameras? Or are they the same camera? I'll answer for both cases.
If the 2 resolutions are seperate different cameras, a 12 megapixel and a 3.1 megapixel camera, then by all means, the 12 megapixel is going to produce absolutely undeniably huge sized images, but they will be unbelievably clear, even if you shrunk them down. The 3.1 would suffice and is probably much much cheaper too. If this is just 1 camera, advertising 12 megapixel resolution, using a 3.1 megapixel cmos sensor "retina", then what you're getting, is an absolutely huge image, that was blown up 4x from the original imaged size taken by the camera. Not good. |
