Re: Why the obsession with MP?

Sensor size is more important than Mp hype, the more pixels you have the more potential you have for noise, noise is dealt with by processing, so better GPUs are needed, the same goes for multiple lenses and sensors.

I would prefer to see the multk lens space taken up with a larger sensor.

I have a Lumix G3 4/3 format camera, at 16.6Mp I haven't seen anything from these hyper pixel phones that is better.

A phone gives you convenience, the increasingly complicated cameras on them is mostly marketing.

The latest top end Galaxys though have pretty impressive zooms that return fair quity at full zoom.
