Carolyn Mathas of Electronics 360 recently penned a blog post exploring the ever-higher resolutions supported by smartphone cameras. “What [really] drives the need for ever-higher smartphone camera pixel count today—bragging rights or stunning selfies?” she asks. “And when will the number of megapixels be enough?” As Mathas notes, image resolution equates to image detail. “If high resolution means more image detail, does it just mean how well you can see that hummingbird extracting nectar from the stunning flower? No, it also has to do with how large you can print, how much you are able to crop, how far you can blow up an image and more,” she continues. “So an easy answer to the question, ‘Do we really need pixel counts in the mid-teens?’ can be answered with ‘Do you do these things, or are you just interested in seeing the hummingbird?’”
