Weighing the Canon EOS Rebel t1i, t2i, and t3i Megapixels

So you're shopping for a digital SLR. You're weighing a Canon t1i, a Canon t2i, or a Canon t3i. Which one sis right? One clear specification you could think about is the devices res. Which of the cameras has the highest camera resolution?

The Canon t2i and t3i each win a little edge in terms of resolution. They boast a 18 MP resolution, yet the Canon t1i has a measly fifteen megapixels.

Does this push you one way or the other? Not really. Usually, approximately 8 megapixels is more than necessary. Anything on top of that is wasted.

A typical 4x6 picture, done at 300 dpi, necessitates roughly 1200 x 1800 pixels. That's a tad over 2 megapixels. A fuller, 8x10 image requires 2400 x 3000 pixels. That's roughly 7.2 megapixels. Unless you will be printing out ginormous pooster prints, you're never going to make us of all the information held in those extra pixels.

There are some other justifications for why you could want to move up from the Canon t1i to another camera - like a Canon t3i, or a Canon 60D or 7D. However, pixelage ain't truly a good reason. The step up here is slight. Oddly enough, the lot of these cameras (the t2i/550D, the t3i/600D, the 60D, and the 7D) all come with the same image processor, yielding just the same resolution and image quality.

If you're shopping for a camera, you might likely have a need for this other complete analysis about the differences between the Canon t3i vs 60d vs 7d.
