I predict the MP race will end up the same as the GHz race, and allow people to finally understand that large a Megapixel value does not equate to better picture quality. Unless of course you're going to make a huge billboard print using an image from current gen cell phone lens.
- wladimir 15y agoThat's very wishful thinking :) The GHz race ended due to physical constraints and cost, not due to people finally realizing anything. It will likely re-start once a new technology is developed (graphene?) that allows for even faster clock speeds.
- zokier 15y agoMegapixel race has already mostly ended. Most extreme example is Canon G11 which had 4 megapixels less than its direct predecessor G10. Point'n'shoots have hovered in the 10MP range for some time now.
