Digital Camera Resolution versus Film Scanner Resolution: "Digital cameras create digital images composed of lots of tiny pixels. So do film scanners by digitizing your existing slides or negatives. A good digital camera will create images between 6 and 12 megapixels while a good scanner can easily produce files with more than 20 megapixels. So does this difference have any bearing on which is better? The answer may not be quite what it seems at first glance...." (Via Earthbound Light Photography Tips.) 7:27:50 AM
