  • out of curiosity, i compared a 12 megapixel camera to a 61 megapixel camera to a 33 megapixel camera! A7S III vs A7R V vs A7IV . I was shocked by the results! really want to know what you guys think about this! do we really need a 61 megapixel camera or a7siii's 12megapixel is good enough?!

    So many people have lost their minds over high MP cameras unless you're into deep cropping. A HD computer monitor only shows 2MP, 4K shows 8MP and Facebook/Instagram displays 2MP photos. Considering PPI and DPI, a comparison of MP is better on a printed photo from a normal viewing distance relative to the size of the photo.

      I wonder if anyone has seen a giant 1mp print 😂 They'd probably lose their mind. These marketing departments are something else.
      A Nikon D2Hs and all of its 4.1mpx 😅 is still completely usable. You simply need to be an expert at composition.
      I swear if I were running a photography class, I'd make all the students shoot on a D2Hs 😅 The only cropping you get is to straighten the image.
      I think the US and Global market for 4K monitors sold is only around 2% as of 2023 🤣 The only folks buying 4K and 8K monitors are either in the business or hobbyist/gamers. Normal people look at 0.8mpx images all day long.

      well the thing is, i love shooting EVERYTHING from farther away so i can crop perfectly. I never do portraits where the subject is going to be always centered. Mainly for video as well too. With everything being vertical, 61mp you can shoot horizontal and still have plenty info to crop in! Cropping is the best thing imo in photography and videography and not alot of people utilize it well with larger mps

      I printed crazy small picture less than 1 mp ( far far less) and they print really good at 4x6. I was astonished. So my Sony a7c at 24mp is the best ratio low light performance, sensor size, pixel count. A lot of high end canera stay under 24mp. I can get a nice background photo for 32 inch 4k screen monitor, i can still crop pictures a bit, to fix incorrect framing. Normally the initial framing should already be well set but there is room to crop. And like i said for 4x6 it is always good. For bigger 5 x7 and 8,5 x 11 i would use 12/24mp pictures above that you need 24mp for best result.

    Just output from raw to the MP you want. In Adobe Camera Raw for example you can set your output resolution. I have compared R6 II files output from ACR to 45 MP to the R5 and it's very hard to tell the difference, even viewed at 100% on a 5K monitor. If you use the "Enhance" feature first, in my case the R6 files actually looked more detailed than the R5. Thus I save $2000 by getting the R6 II which I could spend on lenses AND I save file space and only uprez when I need to (to crop or print very large).

  • @blisteringbooks2428

    As most lenses are resolving 20+mp the 12mp may appear sharper, does it? Obviously the 61mp sensor will have more detail, but does it loose the edge on sharpness as it may pick up on softness of an inferior lens. I am curious because I recent used some images from a 4mp sensor which seemed almost sharper than than a 24mp, Topaz made them almost jump out at you when I wanted a little more detail.

    • @ingmarstuij585
      @ingmarstuij585 3 місяці тому

      I've experiened this, although I would not consider the lens inferior, but more like a result of the improved quality of the camera.
      Sony A77 combined with Sony 2.8 24-70 ZA Zeis lens is a very good to excellent combination. However using the same Zeis lens with a Sony A7RIV (using LA-EA3 adapter) I noticed softness / lack of sharpness. This became more clear when I switched to FE 24-105 F4 G lens, which showed razor sharp results compared to the Sony 2.8 24-70 ZA, which remains performing very well on my A77.

    You can see the difference looking at the eye. The Photo A was obviously the lowest one. Photo B and C got me good, but I think above 33 MP is the kind of thing that will only notice if you use for a larger area, and it doesn't need to be an outdoor. It can be a family album, a frame on the wall. And you will need it if you have to crop, so... Yes, it does make difference. Really.

    The low megapixel camera has less noise but it's not as sharp.Image quality will always be better with a high megapixel camera. More pixels gather more light. It's a complicated subject. Tony Northup has made several very good videos on this subject. Movies shot on video are shoot at very high ISO. Noise can be cleaned up, sharpness can't be changed.

      If you mainly shoot Videos, A7S III has a lot better dynamic range, rolling shutter and low light performance, but if you mainly shoot photos, A7R V is designed for photography at first and video is second. so it has a lot more photography features and also higher megapixel

    If you are doing big enlargements the megapixels matter. If you are only viewing on your computer screen you are right, you will not see much of a difference. My laptop screen is about 2 megapixels in resolution. Even high resolution monitors can never resolve a 24 megapixel camera, let alone a 61 megapixel. You simply will not see a difference until you print a large image.
    I have the Sony A7RV and I have done enlargements up to A1. I could go A0 or larger, no issues. The images on my monitor look rather ordinary, but print super large prints and that’s when the megapixels are a bonus. I purchased a 4x5 large format film camera and seriously after having big enlargements done I truly believe the A7RV is sharper and able to render better images. I guess that is due to better lens technology in addition to the high megapixel count.

      The best hybrid is a7cII.
      It is a bit expensive though. I would have prefered to see it at the price of the original a7c. You have an improved evf ( i have a7c, it is clearly visible ), Active stabilization handheld (again really visible), 10 bits 4:2:2 (slog can be fully used now), a really improved grip (compared to a7c but still not yet perfect), touch menu, and they kept the evf on the left and the small size/weight (perfect on the gimbal or in the bag or pocket like my a7c or the flash on camera) , works well with flash (60rm2). They can improve it like the flash sync limited to 160 instead of 240/400. The shutter speed in efcs mode is limited 1/4000 Instead of 1/8000) and the 4k60 is with a 1.5x crop. Also it is a micro hdmi (i don’t use it so it is not an issue for me and one card only). The a7cII is not yet perfect. The a7cIII or should be perfect. I bet at this time , there will be a new processor to reduce overheating even more, 4k60 no crop, and a new shutter mechanism 1/8000. 1/240 flash sync, 8 stops stabilization, even more magnified evf, 4D screen and more detailed external screen, deeper grip like fx3-A6700. Maybe 1 more customizable button. I don’t think they can put the joystick on such small body.
      If they can put faster readout sensor and 4k60 4k120, with a new processor, it would be top notch.

    Actual working Professional photographers: Uhh No.
    And by professionals i mean the people actually working in Magazines from beauty to cars to animals, sports etc.. Will never suggest 12mp unless your just doing it for Instagram Facebook YT. There is an industry standard for certain MP within companies. The exception is your already famous and they trust your process then you can use whatever you want. but anyone not at that level i strongly recommend you not going lower then 24MP.
    The people saying you cant tell unless you zoom into 300% are the problem. You dont know the reason why people need this and you believe its for pixel peepers or those who like to crop in? Lol.

The 61mp allows you to crop and the image is kinda better but the A7RV is the perfect hybrid and its more than it's mp. If you can't afford A7rv get the a7iii.
