I thought I’d have a bit of fun!

Last time I looked at megapixels and how they really affect our photography.

So I thought this time I’d see if you can tell which photo was taken with which camera?

There are 3 photos below:

  • 1 taken on a 5mp camera phone
  • 1 taken on a very old budget 5mp point and shoot camera
  • 1 taken on a 12mp 450d DSLR camera

Now we have 3 photos taken on 3 different types of camera that all have different sizes and quality of image sensors in them. So if I was to print the images out, then you would know immediately which is which because of the quality and print size (check the megapixels post) of the image.

But when they are on the internet like this and all set at the same size (500 pixels wide), then it levels the playing field a bit and it becomes a lot harder I think to tell the difference.

So take a look below and see if you can guess right – should be fun! Please leave your answers in the comments below…

I purposely chose images that have had very little post processing, so they’re pretty much out of the camera!

I look forward to seeing what you think, and I’ll post the answers in the comments soon….

Megapixels have nothing to do with the quality of your photo?

Thumbnail image for Megapixels have nothing to do with the quality of your photo?

Megapixels: The larger the Megapixels the better the image? The first thing you hear about when you are looking at a camera is how many Megapixels it has? So you’d think that Megapixels are very important when it comes to choosing a camera and taking photographs? And the more you have the better… But is [...]

Yes, I think so…. That’s one of the reasons I run this site, to show you how it can be done. I love my photography, I get so much enjoyment out of it and in so many ways. But my photography is on a budget! Why should that stop me creating great shots? (I may [...]

If there’s one bad photography habit that I’ve got that really annoys me it’s shooting wonky horizons. I’m forever doing it, I could swear it was straight when I took the shot but when I check it’s off again! I don’t know maybe one of my legs is shorter than the other? Or maybe I’m [...]

This image was taken down the side of the Museum of Liverpool, in Liverpool! I was walking back to the car after a couple of hours of shooting around the waterfront when these lines caught my eye. The more you shoot the more you notice composition opportunities… I liked the way the lines on the [...]

The answer is several… Notice I’m not asking whether you do, because that’s a given. You have to back up your images – plain and simple! If you haven’t already go and do it now….I’ll wait…. Because it only takes your laptop to crash and burn, and that’s it – gone…. Even if you have [...]
