Well, I love taking photos on digital cameras. I have two, A Sony Cybershot 5 (I think it's really 5.1 not sure) Megapixel camera and a Nikon Coolpix 8 Megapixel camera. Both cameras are capable of capturing video w/ sound.
Of course, the Sony uses a Memory Stick Duo and the Nikon uses SD.
Irrelevant to my question/concern.
So here it is:
Why on Earth is the 5 megapixel camera better than the 8 megapixel? why? I take close up photos with the 5 megapixel camera and I get better quality/sharper looking images than with the Nikon.
I am baffled.
Oh and the Cybershot takes better quality video and sound than the Coolpix.
This is not what I would have expected. Is there any explanation, or is it just the fact that it's a Sony product??
