Whats Wrong with 6.1 MP?

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

There is nothing wrong with 6MP unless you start earning your bread with it. Well, mostly... exception with the D2H that is 4.1MP and many earn their breads with it. And there you go, MP is not a factor to consider about digital cameras.

A 6MP can produce same/better quality results than a 12MP if it lands on the right hands, despite the MP count.

Strike me pink Jethro, what lens are you using? 1200mm with TC? The last one is a real cracker.

And yes, there's no problem at all with 6mp. I've just done some prints at A1 size no probs at all.

Jethro,

That's 70-200VR? And if so, were you using VR at the time of these shots?

Nice Shots Jethro....

The bird image has some fairly severe JPEG artefaction to me and would sing with a levels adjustment to really brighten the whites.

Cheers

MAx yes VR was used and Adame unfortunately due to posting restrictions jpeg artifacting did come into play. This was shot raw and if i posted this way which is impossible believe me therr is no artifacting and this image is pristine.
Probably one of my sharpest and defined images Iv'e shot
Cheers Jethro

these are all great Jethro, but I find #1 an absolute ripper.
6.1Mp is fine for most of us.

I don't think there's anything wrong with 6mp...

i still use a d70 and produce a lot of paid work with it... no complaints yet.

i'd rather not get caught up in the "must buy what's new" entanglement... if it works, why change it.
