Beyond Megapixels
TheTechLounge points to this "first of a three-part series of editorial articles examining current digital photography hardware, as well as the author's views of what is to come." It boils down to the excellent point that pixel count alone is not the way to evaluate digital camera capabilities.
Yup. I remember when I was at CompUSA once and some stupid guy was buying a computer. He was interested in only a few things. Will I be able to burn cds with this? Can I do e-mail? Can I plug my camera into it? etc. You just need enough power to be able to get the functionality you desire. Excess power is money wasted.
This is the problem I'm having buying a laptop. I want something small and cheap that just has a wireless card, a little hard drive, a nice slow cpu, a stick of ram, a usb hole and a vga hole. All I want is to browse the web on the go. Nobody makes a lite enough laptop for me. Features are more important than power.

You call this heinous? Damn, you have some high standards.
