, this is a wonderful site with great tutorials, a lot of thanks to the author and to the community... guys you help me a lot, thank you very much!
I have two questions for you, may sound silly but I did a lot of research and finally I don´t think I understand the ¨concept¨ very well. I´m very, very confused!
First question is: How do you compare digital image resolution (MP) with film resolution?
There are some cameras there, that are capables of 16 MP. (Canon 1d Mark IV - if I´m not wrong). How do you compare it´s resolution with an ordinary 35mm film? What about the medium format cameras?
The second question is: Let´s take two full-frame cameras, one of 10 MP for e.g and the second one of 16 MP.
Why the second camera is capable to produce more resolution? It has anything to do with the actual number of physical pixels of the sensor? How many physical pixels a sensor can get, what would be the maximum? More physical pixels means smaller pixels in the same sensor size area? Where do they introduce more pixels if the size of the pixels is also important, how can they fit in the same sensor area ?
Excuse my bad english, I hope you understand.
Thank you !
