7 FACTS For Better Image Quality - Megapixels, Resolution, Image Sensor Size, Photosites???

Рет қаралды 192,301

Күн бұрын

Image quality is not just about megapixels. Here are 7 useful facts that help define image quality.
When it comes to image quality, there is a big misconception that if you want better quality, you need more megapixels. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) it isn’t that straightforward.
Over the years camera manufacturers have dedicated much of their efforts to improve the number of megapixels in their latest models. At the start of the century, both Nikon and Canon were producing DSLRs with just 3MP - a far cry from the 100MP cameras we see today.
This drive has led many to believe that megapixels are all that matters when it comes to image quality, but to better understand image quality, considering the number of megapixels alone isn’t enough. You also need to look at the size and type of image sensor, understand how images are formed, how light is focused onto the sensor, the impact of lens choice and quality, and consider the pixel size to get the full picture.

Hi guys, just a correction to note please - at 13:50 I explain how to calculate megapixels by dividing by one million but at 14:09 when I repeat the calculation I accidentally say one thousand instead of one million. Sorry my bad 😬. Thanks to a couple of our viewers for pointing it out.

Also, there were APS film cameras available before digital crop APS-C became mainstream. "Advanced Photo System Type-C (APS-C) is an image sensor format approximately equivalent in size to the Advanced Photo System (APS) film negative in its C ("Classic") format"

I think the law of diminishing returns plays a roll in most aspects of photography. Megapixels were a huge factor when going from 3 to 6, or 6 to 12. But the improvements from 50-100 aren't anywhere near as dramatic. The same is evident in lens improvements, noise performance, sensor size and other areas. For most people the sweet spot for most of these things is somewhere in the middle.

@MJ-uk6lu 11 ай бұрын

Same with sensor sizes. Past one inch type sensors there massive diminishing returns. APS-C is definitely better, but much less obviously than going from 1/2.3" to 1". And going from APS-C to full frame offers even lower gains.

The OM-D you show is micro four thirds, and smaller than APS-C sensors. And half frame 135 film cameras exist, and there were numerous crop film cameras like 110, 126 format.

The OMD body is also smaller than an APSC body. A Canon EOS 7 D is physically the same size and roughly the same weight as a 5D and uses the same lenses. The OMD lenses are much smaller and lighter so your bag ends up being about a quarter of the size and weight.

As always, this was top-notch. Your knowledge and ability to deliver it so we can all understand it is as good as it gets. My only caution for viewers would be to not dismiss smaller sensors out of hand because of perceived lower image quality. While technologically and mathematically true, in practical terms, it isn't always relevant. Case in point is my own 30+ year career as a photographer, which, for the last 15 years has been done successfully using digital APS-C cameras. For the type of work I do, my clients have been overjoyed. Are there limitations? Sure. But I've learned to work within them and have been able to consistently produce, not just "good enough" images, but excellent images. I may well get cameras with larger sensors in the future, but not because I want to "upgrade," but just because I want to be able to do different kinds of work. Keep up the excellent training, Karl. You are absolutely one of the best teachers out there!

@VisualEducationStudio 3 жыл бұрын

Yes good points Peter and there were photojournalists even using film formats smaller than 35mm back in the day, however my main point was that as we see an advance towards mirrorless and less expensive sensors we may see a reduction in demand for that format and at that time the camera manufacturers may choose to drop that format in favour of 35mm FF mirrorless. As always with everything it's will come down to a supply/demand/cost equation.

Everything comes into account. Camera processors ,software/firmware lens choose. But the pixel design, size & pitch mean so much., & is what really makes the difference. Somewhere out there there is a comparison chart of all the Nikon & Canon cameras with the features & individual pixel size & pixel pitch. If you look at the cameras that were performers, the closeness of the larger pixel size &, the pitch numbers is what they had in common.

This week I learned a *big* lesson about sharpness. My amateur cameras are mostly point-and-shoot and Micro 4/3. After disappointing results with two full-frame cameras, I discovered that: 1) For full-frame, aperture is important. With smaller zoom cameras, I would look at shutter speed and let aperture take care of itself. I did some tests with my FF cameras and found the "sweet spot" of sharpness. 2) A book I found yesterday said that *point-and-shoot cameras will give you much more depth of field* than a larger-sensor camera. No wonder I took aperture for granted! There should be videos to train people like me who are going from smaller cameras to bigger ones. Real photographers start with bigger cameras and don't have to learn this hard lesson.

Another great no nonsense tutorial.... the way I put it to use the right tool for the job, and in order to do so you need to understand the tool, maximise its strengths whilst controlling its weaknesses. As it’s true that most cameras of the last 5-10 years are capable to do most jobs, it’s also true that the perfect camera doesn’t exist, finding the perfect compromise for the situation is the secret ingredient. Great explanation of diffraction, I would have also mentioned the losses in quality at the other extreme, wide apertures, not directly related to sensors, still affecting quality though. Great job keep it up.

That was indeed educating and good to hear it all in one place, Karl! To give an example: As an amateur who has been photographing since the 70's, I have (at some point) finally decided to buy a 24 megapixel full frame to digitalise my slides and black and white negatives. Why 24 MP? Because my older DSLR with 12 megapixel didn't reproduce all details from the fine grain b/w negatives and even some from my Kodachrome 25 slides (possibly 21 MP would be enough, but that camera didn't provide the needed dynamic range). To capture the whole dynamic range from those slides without losing on highlights or deep shadow areas, the full frame took care of both because of the larger photosites. Also, because I already had an expensive macro bellows and slide duplicating system, I could re-use it with my digital camera. Of course I also get excellent - technical - results in conventional photography because of that camera, but I am happy to use my older gear with older lenses because they still give me that much pleasure in photographing. Which I think is a tad more important than having the newest, highest technical quality - especially because I don't have to work towards a customer's goal. And that is what you, Karl, have mentioned quite often in your videos: you choose your gear in function of the result, which is of course replying to the needs of your clients. I thought I might emphasise this one more time ;-)

IIRC crop sensors came about way before ff sensors due to technology limitations. BTW, price is not the only drawback of larger image sensors: larger sensor requires larger and heavier lenses. This is why I'm considering switching to m43 for my urban/street photography: it's 70-200 equivalent is much smaller and lighter than a regular full frame 70-200 lens.

@TechnoBabble 2 жыл бұрын

I don't know why you think this, but the lenses are not smaller. There's not even a full frame 70-200 f/4 equivalent for M4/3. Lenses that are actually equivalent for smaller sensors are just as big and expensive.

@NeonShores Жыл бұрын

@@TechnoBabble this is hilariously wrong. Many of the lenses are tiny in comparison, and much cheaper. The 35-100mm f2.8 is small, optically amazing and half the price of most F4 zooms.

@TechnoBabble Жыл бұрын

@@NeonShores Hilariously wrong? So the 35-100mm f2.8 is equivalent to what on full frame? A 70-200 f5.6. You might think it's equivalent to a 70-200 f/2.8, but that's what would be hilariously wrong. On average, when using similar levels of sensor technology, a M4/3 sensor produces images with 4x the amount of noise of a Full Frame sensor when at the same ISO. This means that to produce an image with the same level of noise the M4/3 camera needs to be at 1/4 the ISO value, needing a lens that is 2 full stops brighter. That 35-100 would need to be f1.4 to match a full frame f/2.8 zoom. Why do you think it's half the price? It only allows the camera to gather half the amount of light. Smaller sensors are not magic and they don't get to break the laws of physics, unfortunately.
