Is 6.1 Megapixel Good Enough?

Our sister site Uberpulse met with Nikon representatives at PMA and asked about them about the resolution arms race. The answer: “For many consumers 6.1 Megapixel, like our D40, is more then they will ever need. As most of the consumers are going to print 4×6 or 5×7 photos and rarely make prints bigger than that”. That’s a valid point on which Samsung also agrees. The time for easy upgrades is over, now manufacturers will have to push features like Connectivity (WiFi, 3G) to save photos directly onto a remote server and GPS that will remember where the photo was taken.
