PIXELS & FILE FORMATS

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

WHICH CAMERA WOULD GIVE SOME1 THE BEST PRINTING QUALITY PHOTOS? ONE WHICH IS A 1.5 MILLION PIXEL CAMERA & SAVES THE PHOTOS AS A .TIFF FILE FORMAT, OR A 2.1 MILLION PIXEL CAMERA WHICH SAVES THE PHOTOS AS A .JPEG FILE FORMAT ONLY. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE 2.1 MILLION PIXELS IS OF FINER RESOLUTION THAN THE 1.5 MILLION PIXELS, BUT .TIFF IS A BETTER FORMAT THAN .JPEG FOR SAVING PHOTOS. WHICH WAY SHOULD I GO?

Some do both. Have a look at some reviews at www.photo.askey.net It helps if you have some cameras in mind? Regards, Peter.
