In this video, we put 12 megapixels right beside 102 megapixels and see if you can really spot the difference. Our celebrity guests Daniel Shiffer, Lizzie Peirce, and Peter Mckinnon all take a stab at guessing. We'll be using the Sony a7siii for 12MP vs the FujiFilm GFX100S for 102MP. They will see if they can really see a difference on a computer, phone, Instagram, or printed out!

The proper way of doing this was 12mp vs 61mp using the A7S and the A7RIV both with the same exact lens. Most of the differences and the way they were trying to tell them apart was due to differences in how the lens behaves with the sensor, not the sensor resolution, which was the purpose of the challenge.

This was a sad video from people that supposedly know a ton about cameras. That comparison would have made much more sense as the quality between the two lenses also could have varied. Lastly, they should demonstrate substantial cropping on high vs low mp as even a four year old could make out that difference.

Who played along? Put your scores below for each round. Genuinely curious :) For clarification on the process: Both cameras were shot in the highest quality .JPEG (for each camera) on a neutral camera setting with very little adjustments to exposure, temperature and colour so they both matched. Overall I had to de-sharpen the Sony and sharpen the Fuji. Remember that this test was to look purely at MegaPixels when viewed on very common platforms and see if you can notice. Also who made it to the country song? P.S - There is no biased to Sony. I love all cameras. Canon, Nikon, Fuji. This was a fun experiment to look purely at megapixels when viewed on the most common platforms for distribution and viewing.

Big difference looking at a print vs looking at your images on a 27 or 32 inch 5K screen. The 12 Mpixel image falls apart on those devices. But then again who displays their images as 27inch screens on a wall. For wall prints resolution is less important than getting the perfect exposure, light and framing.

@nogerboher5266 3 жыл бұрын

Whoever told you it's not enough, probably owns a printing studio. They are killing it with overpriced huge prints right now... Scaming innocent people into thinking that they need to print on XXXXXXXXXXXXXXL paper for their 40/60/100 MP images. That's how they earn money now. Let me tell you, the golden standard for prints is 12-24 MP and the sweet spot is either 16 or 18 MP depending on the size of the print. The SEPTILLION megapixel sensors is just a marketing scheme to attract casual consumers, because they are the majority and they are the ones who believe in this "higher MP = better" crap. My old 1DX and 1DXll took better images than most new cameras to this date. Sadly I fell for the mirrorless hype crap too and "upgraded" to the a7RIV - There's not a single day that passes, where I don't regret selling my 1DXll... I'm THIS close to buying a used 1DXll.

There are applications where the high-resolution cameras are necessary. Such as architectural documentation. If you take a wide shot of The sistine chapel, to store that history digitally; for the purpose of people going to virtually visit the chapel and zoom in to look at the minute details. However an argument could be made that the way they store these architectural history pieces is By taking many photos and stitching them together. So in this case it would be unnecessary to have a high resolution camera because the image you will end up with will be high resolution enough; plenty for someone to zoom in.

I saw an Interview with a camera developer from canon or red, i don't know the exact brand anymore, where he discussed the effect of higher resolution. What he basically said is that we can't compare sharpness to high resolution. These are are two different things. In fact sharp edges get softer with a higher resolution because they contain more detail. It will look more natural but not as sharp because it's closer to humian sight. It's basically the best and simplest Antialiasing filter. It's a common misconception to think higher resolution results in sharper images, because it was this way in the beginning of digital video when the resolution of our screens was less than the resolution of our eye, but since a couple of years we surpassed this so higher resolution just means finer details which in return results in combination with our sight in "softer" images.

I've been an amateur starting with film back in the 60s. I bought my first serious camera during that time based on the advice of a professional photographer. The one thing that stuck in my mind from his freely given advice was this, "buy good glass first, then use quality film." I got the same advice when purchasing my fist digital camera. "Concerning megapixels, the glass is way more important." As a result I have images shot with 4MP that rival anything shot with a MP count 2 to 3 times that. So, great video guys, you just reinforced advice I was given 50+ years ago. Thanks so much.

You can blow up a 4k image pretty large before it starts to lose quality, you can make an 8k image even bigger and maintain clarity, the issue in this video is they didn't hit those sizes.

@@getzoutdoor what do you need more mp for if you literally can't tell a difference? It might be much more cost efficient for a photographer to get a lower MP count camera, so FF instead of MF and get a sharper lens to go with it. If you don't print 3m side prints to be viewed from 30cm away, the extra resolution will mainly cause extra hassle and unnecessarily increase cost.

You have to take into account that 4K resolution is around 8 megapixels. And a 4K screen that is 75 inches looks great until you get too close to the screen to be able to see the entire image. When they talked about viewing angle that was an important point. For you to see the entire image, you have to be far enough back that the pixel density doesn’t matter past 8mp. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@PsychonautTV 2 жыл бұрын

... which is the whole point of this video. For almost 90% of imaging work, 12mp is definitely enough. The REASON why MP count is important is for those heavily cropping in on images a lot, such as wildlife photography, sport, or even architecture, when PERFECT composition is required, and cropping/straightening/distortion corrections are much more frequent. image quality > resolution, always cinemas are still only 2k-4k resolution, which is crazy because a cinema feels and looks extremely sharp and detailed, when in reality it's not. It's the cinema camera that produces good images, not the pixel count.

What is the dpi on those large prints? I always see people say 300 dpi is “print quality.” If there was no upscaling, those prints have to be like 100-150 dpi from the Sony. Is the 300 dpi rule B.S. or are those prints up scaled?

@EricLS 3 жыл бұрын

The 300dpi rule is BS. 300dpi is too small to make out the dots at under a foot to the human eye. You can’t look at a 2x3 foot print from 12 inches away.

300 DPI is more a guideline rather used as a rule. This is starting point and you may go up or down from here, depends on your size of your print. Majority of all print lab will say 300 DPI on their file requirements. Is not a must-have, they just need a standard measurements.

Depends on the use case. In most modest-to-moderate sized images viewed 1:1 sure, picking the difference will be difficult. But if you are zooming in / cropping into small areas of an image then resolution becomes hugely important. I have a 4K 32" monitor and even just taking photos on my lowly phoen camera (Note 20+) there is a huge difference when I shoot in 108MP mode vs when I don't when viewing on this screen, especially when zooming or cropping.

@petedraper5185 3 жыл бұрын

I think the issue is with camera manufacturers deliberately marketing high mega pixels as being the way to go for greater detail. The reason I purchased a Sony 61MP A7R4, was due to the fact that I photograph wildlife and have to crop most of my images. The 61MP is a real advantage over my Sony A9 in that area. In fact, Chris Hau actually suggests in the video that he would use a camera with a greater number of MP's if he cropped a lot of his images.

@jessejayphotography 3 жыл бұрын

So basically 12MP, finally image, cropped or not, is more than "good enough" even when scrutinized by expert eyes. I would still take a 40-50MP camera over just a 12MP in the real world knowing I can crop all the way down to 12MP. Thats a lot of headroom to rescue a badly, or hastily taken photo.

@RiceCubeTech 3 жыл бұрын

Idk man I’m a pretty decent photographer, I mean I get paid money, and my a7siii shots look noticeably softer than my a7iii when cropped in. At like normal non cropped it’s not too bad, but it’s so bad at like 100 or 200 percent crop in. I think the issue with this test is not allowing them to zoom. Plus only viewing it on a MacBook display makes it so hard because it has less than a 4o resolution and any high res photo is gonna not look that different from another given that even 12mp is higher.

Ran a test here trying to validate your results on the large print test. Couldn’t do it. 24x30 enlargements.. very visible difference between 12 and 102mp, certainly would never have trouble picking out the GFX. Initially I thought you had reverse engineered the test (picked a print size to support your preformed conclusion). After conducting the same test with largely the same parameters.. I’m left either questioning your eyesight or your integrity. (And I’m not questioning your integrity here, I’m just don’t know how to explain the results you’ve published as the don’t align with what I’m seeing in my re-test).

The essence of youtubers is the same as politicians: they need to say what the followers want to hear. There have to be huge differences in max achievable image quality, and average shot image quality. But even a smartphone can produce a workable image of a close, well lit scene/subject. In the end, all of them will be the same in a youtube video, probably watched on a phone or tablet :-) I remain firm on not questioning anyone's eyesight :-)

Im thinking this test is all about the lenses. The mention the Sony has a Zeiss lens which is super sharp. They don’t mention the make of the lens on the medium format camera. If they put a crappy lens on the 102mp camera the Sony with the Zeiss will win every challenge. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@careibou1 3 жыл бұрын

I think they are legit tests but the testing methodnology is flawed, they did note one thing at the start that they adjusted the photos for color crop and SHARPNESS so they massively sharpened the sony. Take a look at the once of the bird on the lake, you can see the sharpening halo on the 12mp one. Plus as they shoot different ratios one is cropped. Still a cool comparison that shows that post processing may have a large effect on end image quality.

@blujeans9462 3 жыл бұрын

Totally are with you on this. As a photographer judge I knew the screen images might be a bit tough to discern - but knew there was no way there would have been any doubt for the enlargement (especially at that size) - as I have seen first hand in my competitions. I suspect there is a lot more going on behind the scenes in post to make it so difficult to tell the difference. Found it hard to believe, honestly. I have an older Nikon (12mp) and a new (46mp) - same lens, since they are interchangeable with both cameras - no difficulty telling which image came from which camera, ever.
