What is the Megapixel Myth?

It’s the notion that more pixels will always get you a better quality image.

More pixels often mean smaller pixels, which are noisy in low-light situations.

More important are sensor size, ISO sensitivity, and the quality of the optical components lens.  These factors are often overlooked.

It’s a misconception designed for the purpose of marketing.
