Camera Megapixels: Why More Isn't Always Better (Smartphones Unlocked)
Larger sensors are the reason that 8 megapixels from a digital SLR camera are better than 10 megapixels from a smartphone camera. You have the same number of pixels, but those pixels on the DSLR can be larger, and therefore let in more light.

Instead of Images, This Digital Camera Spits Out Descriptions!

online camera stores

Image by katiew
Bryce & I discovered THE best camera store in the whole world. We’ve been limited to online shopping or the one, limited-selection, pro photography shop in Tampa. This was NIRVANA walking into…. the largest selection of paper I’ve ever seen. See all that Epson? Next to that is an EQUAL amount of Hahnemuhle fine art paper… gorgeous stuff. (they’re restocking in the upper left, they’re not messy, btw). They had a huge wall of lenses & bodies (which stupidly I didn’t photograph)… including a 600mm, which Bryce drooled over. And the Hasselblad H2, Leif backs, the mamiya 645AFD & RZ, whole sets of lenses for all of them…. oh man. See how I’m rambling? See how excited I am?! And starting February, they’ll be finished with their online store & ya’ll can order paper and everything else through them. Can’t wait!

And guess what? I BOUGHT A 24-105 L-SERIES FROM THEM!! HURRAAAAAY! It’s the most gorgeous little thing I ever did see. It’s only an f4, but it has image stabilizer, so I’m pleased. YAY!!!

We went in to visit the sales people & our favorite gear about 3 or 4 times in a week. We even brought the sales peeps sopapillas from tomasitas :) they remembered our names after that!

I know I’m rambling, but the owner & all the sales staff are EXTREMELY knowledgeable and know all the inventory inside & out… and trust me, we grilled them!
