Hi there!
I always go travel with my family. For me, I will take my camera anywhere and just hang on my belt when I’m on holiday. I’m not sure about other people. But as for me, I’ll also always bring my laptop together when i go for holiday. I just leave the laptop in my hotel room and at night, when I’m back to the room, simply i will transfer my picture from my digital camera to my laptop.
This is what i experience when i was in holiday.
Do you ever experienced that your camera data card already full? Well i think, every body do experience this event once in a while. More over, now days, digital camera has came out until more that 10megapixel!
What does that mean? Well, megapixel is the simply the ability of the camera to record picture in a very detailed quality. Your picture will look more sharper with a higher pixel and will be more larger in size and properties. This is good if you want to print the picture into larger format such as 12R or A4 size.
I’ve came across with a friend of mine who are claim to know best about gadget that he bought including digital camera. The argument is, if you have a 6megapixel, why do you set you camera for a lower megapixel? For his, if you have 6 megapixel, you as a owner should set your camera for 6 megapixel.
I’ve told myself, clearly this friend of mine never went for a long holiday far from his home.
As i learn and noticed, to have a nice picture with 4R or 5R picture sized, a 2-3megapixel already give a optimal quality of picture.
What happen is, the higher the megapixel setting is, the more memory space that it will consumed. So, if you have a 10 megapixel with 1GB of memory most probably you can only store around 200 picture only. But if you use a lower setting you will have more space and more picture you can store.
This very useful when you go for holiday. My way of holiday, when i was in Bangkok, I will wake up early in the morning, around 9am, me and my family will go out to the city and only be back to hotel at 6 or 7 pm in the evening. I can’t afford to bring my laptop together and keep uploading my picture into it. So, I will set my camera at 3megapixel and take a lot of family picture and mostly a candid children photo. A lot spontaneous pictures. To saved me the day, i will opt for lower pixel – 3megapixel and bring extra memory stick.
So, get your self a big memory stick and also just set your camera up to 3mp. Maybe in certain event, you can set up for higher pixel if you planned to print that picture with a larger format such as A4 size.
But for normal 4R or 5R, 3megapixel is the best. Don’t forget this simple tips as you won’t want miss that special and quality moment of your life.
