My new digital camera

[MRT144]

i know KH is researching all the reasons im wrong and coming up with a devastating reply that will make me look like an idiot. and ill admit the analogy isn't perfect. I dont even think most people should give two ****s about MP for what most people take pictures of and how they view them.

but theres a time and a place for a camera that can do 8 mp.

Well, they were talking about video cameras (so 'videos' not 'pictures').

Just make sure your second wife doesn't ebay that camera after you die.

I have the Powershot S3.

Cost me nothing. The department paid for it.

well in that case...

my point still stands.

Anyhoo, I am quite content with my camera. I ain't a photography student nor a photojournalist, so I don't care much about how many MP's my camera has. It suits me just fine as it is.

It takes OK pics, but I am a total noob with the thing, so I will have to RTFM and work out how to do it better.

A somewhat better pic of my home office with my iPod and my valve amplified computer speakers.

Bought Leonard Bernstein's Mahler 6 this week. Sounds really good for a computer.

actually Digital to analog converters are a bottleneck as most of them only convert to 44.1khz. CDs are that way.

Wrong. Only the very earliest CD players sampled simply at 44.1

Um... wouldn't the higher megapixels be useful if you were printing the things?

[MRT144]

and in digital video i think chroma subsampling is more important

[KrazyHorse]

Would you like to keep trying?

Data sampling is my bread and butter.

Just missed a pic of my awesome World of Warcraft mousepad: free from Blizzard for throwing a few darts at a board.

I just missed out on a succubus action figure.
