What is the story behind megapixels 48MP, 108MP, etc? मेगापिक्सेल के पीछे की कहानी क्या है? Camera Blog 01

More megapixels must mean better photos, right? No. This is the most important part of understanding why 48-megapixel cameras are a good thing: it’s not about quality. Megapixels are not a measure of camera or photo quality. A camera with 2,000 megapixels could still take mediocre photos.

Instead, the higher the megapixel count, the more detail the camera’s sensor can collect — but again, this doesn’t ensure fabulous quality. Squeezing more pixels into a camera sensor means the pixels get smaller, due to the size limitations of a smartphone’s body and the camera sensor fitted inside. This may affect the quality of the image, and in turn, puts greater emphasis on the software driving the camera to help produce the best images possible.

While it is certainly true that 12-megapixel pictures are good enough, it doesn’t mean that a camera shouldn’t have more than 12 megapixels.

Witness the trend for hybrid zooms on modern smartphones for evidence. Ghosh went on to say that a 108-megapixel camera — now released by Xiaomi.
