Which Is Better in a Point and Shoot, higher MP or Optical Zoom?
I'm currently upgrading my older Kodak Easyshare 5MP 3x Optical Zoom. I don't usually get prints larger than 5x7 8x10 every once in a blue moon, if I do decide to print some they are 4x6. I did just order and receive a Nikon S6000, i haven't really put it together yet, i think i'm returning it, its just too small for me, i like something i can feel like i can hold onto.
But if I'm not printing more than a 4x6 size, then really the 14MP vs the 5 MP won't be too much different, I don't crop to print that much either. So my ZOOM Factor seems to be more of an issue.
Do you think I should go for a lower MP and a higher zoom than 3.x i mean the 14 MP will just take up more space (I think on the Nikon I got I can set it to take the pics starting at 5 mp or 8mp. But i want something a little bit bigger.
Optical zoom range would probably be better. Just be sure it has some sort of image stabilization.
More pixels on a P&S, say above 6Mp, makes the image quality worse, especially if you're printing at 4x6".
