Ah, agreed! A friend builds sports cars near to where I live, I took some photos when he was displaying a car at a local event. He asked if he could use an image as a backdrop for a car show. Long story short, it was to be 4 meters by 3 meters! This was in the days when I shot with a Nikon D3, 12 megapixel....I upscaled the 12 mp image to what the then current Photoshop would allow, ( I couldn't then even open it in Photoshop, as it was 'too large'!!) the local sign company did the rest and produced the banner...it was amazing - even I was shocked and my friend was thrilled with how his stand looked! Lesson learned...in the years that have followed, I have printed many art prints using 8 and 12mp files from my early DSLR days and never, ever worried about what size of print a client has asked for!
Same question, actually. Increasing the megapixel count of your camera increases the actual resolution gained from all your lenses - likewise using mediocre lenses reduces the resolution available from you camera, whatever its MP count.
So, this confirms the wisdom of my buying a Canon M50 a few years back. I figured that 24M pixels was quite adequate especially since I also wanted to make instructional videos for distribution over the internet. After a point, people cannot resolve individual pixels. Yes, you can crop still images. But, there are also telephoto lenses out there and I picked up a 900+ mm m-mount lens for the thing, and some other interesting leses as well.
In my experience nothing compares to the joy of pixel peeping a clean well lit high megapixel image. I don’t even care about minimum focusing distance anymore, I love exploring the details. The challenge regarding minimum viewing distance is assuming that people want to perceive the whole image all at once without ever wanting to explore the details
Good Morning as long as it’s makes you happy and it’s clear it gives you joy. So happy for you. I appreciate you taking the time. Have a fun day. Best Ejaz
Dear, Ejaz. This video is perfect. I am so glad I found it. I will show this video to my photography friends, megapixel counters. I hope they will see that I can make very nice enlargements with my 25mp camera. I make a lot of still lifes and intimate landscapes. So cropping is minimal for me because I have complete control over what goes into my frame. So making a large print is no problem for me at all. Thank you for this wise lesson. Kind regards from the Netherlands
Good Morning Antoine, hope all is well with you I am glad to know you are getting what you want in photography. Thanks for sharing with your friends. I appreciate you best Ejaz
Great advice … I have many large prints on my walls in my home and studio, averaging around 3 feet by 4 feet in size and many of these images originated from 6, 12, 16 and 24 megapixel cameras and they are all sharp at even less than their optimal viewing distance. The higher megapixel cameras of 45 t0 60 megapixels I now use allow for more and sometimes aggressive cropping, but by viewing the printed image I don’t think anyone could tell me which image was shot with the high or low megapixel sensor. I print all my images myself on many different types of paper and canvas and I do use upscaling software when needed. In conclusion, if you want consistently good captures you need good glass and good technique! BTW I have printed 3 feet by 5 feet, on canvas, from an iPhone 7 image for a client with the help of upscaling software and the client was thrilled with the results 😊
Some great advice Ejaz. I have used 16.4mp NEX5R, 18.2mp canon 7dii, Sony A6600 24.4mp, and canon R7 32.2mp cameras. I have sold prints from all 4 cameras in either A4, or A3, and the main reason is the customers like the image not the MP count. As mentioned in this video as long as the image is sharp you have a long of latitude to play with for editing and printing.
All this is true. The place where more pixels has an advantage is in cropping into a digital photo. You can crop/zoom in more with more pixels before it shows pixelization - giving you more photo possibilities from one image. For prints, the opposite is true since, as was mentioned, minimum focusing by your eyes increases as it the print goes up in size.
Ohhhh me an numbers do not get along! But this video was pretty easy to follow and the break down was simple! Thank you for breaking it down! Keep making these kinds of videos
Where do you get your 4'x6' frames?! I love printing at 24"x36" but I have one particular photo that I would absolutely love to print at 4'x6' but the quote I got on a frame was out of my price range unfortunately. Couldn't agree more with everything stated in this video btw! I'm shooting with an R8 which has a 24mp sensor if I remember correctly and I print right around 100 ppi give or take and have zero complaints! But I do also have to agree with some of the other commenters (and you in a section of this video as well), mp count really comes in handy when it comes to cropping. I've never cropped an image myself, I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to composition, but I can totally understand the convenience of a higher mp sensor for certain styles of shooting. However, at the end of the day, do we really NEED anything?! As long as there's a smile on your face in the end, you're doing it right and whatever gear you have works 😉🤙
I agree with you Andrew! as long as it brings you joy it’s the right choice. I could have not said it better. Thanks. I get my prints done in Nyc, I have been using my printer for 20 years now. He is amazing. Best Ejaz
Love your learnings on sharp images. I do have a question and I think I know the answer to this question but want to confirm, uv filter or no uv Filter?
Good Morning Mugen, hope all is well. I personally have never put any glass in front of my lens. You should experiment with both and judge for your self. Best of luck Ejaz
Let's put megapixels aside for a moment. Your images are fantastic! They are both dramatic and beautiful. I have ten 8x10 contact prints (from Ansel Adams and Morley Baer) hanging on my wall. The level of detail is overwhelming. If these images were enlarged, something magical about them would be lost.
@@justashley444Ejaz Khan has created some of the very best wildlife images I have ever seen. His photographs are truly amazing. National Geographic could certainly use his talent.
1st time I’ve viewed your channel- interesting comment well presented. Agree with your approach. Currently shoot 45 mp but previously was under 20 mp with the 1DX. Quality was good but cropping for wildlife was a bit more limited. I guess one additional consideration is the low light handling between bigger and smaller sensors. Looking forward to your next posting Bob
It is important to note that printers have dpi scaling, but I would always upscale them in advance of printing. When printing in black and white, contrast sharpness is more critical than resolution (quality printers required). For example, bright white snow on the ground does not require high resolution to capture. Additionally, one should personally review actual prints, as images seen on TH-cam and social are data compressed and of lower quality. Remember, art is very subjective.
Good Morning John, I totally agree. One should be in total control on how they want their artwork. I appreciate you taking the time. Have a fun day. Best Ejaz
I have been teeling photo friends for so many years that you simply don't need 45 or 60 Mpixels cameras! My rule of thumb has always been based on printing at 200 pixels per inch. It all depends on how big your printed pic will be, and that's usually 6in x 4in (1.2 MP), 10in x 8in (3.2 MP) or my largest wall print is 30in x 20in (24 MP) and all are fine!
For the first time in years I no longer desire a 45 mp Nikon Z camera, the print I do are only A3 so as long as i frame correctly I will have enough mp in my Z6II with just a small amount of room for cropping. I am beginning to see that the new Z50II 20 mp camera with Z8/9 AF and Expeed 7 processor will do all I need.
Simple or simplistic? First, the 'simple rule' about print size and viewing distance is simplistic rather than simple, because people actually do come in close to an image, if they see something of interest. So, it's your choice as to whether you want them to see fine detail or not of they do it, but it does have a definite impact. The whole 'do we need more megapixels?' debate is a silly one. It's essentially the same question 'do we need sharper lenses', except there are fewer ideologues on that issue, so the answer to that is usually 'yes'. Sharper lenses cost you a lot more than more megapixels, but still the lens sharpness war rages on, even though lenses were quite sharp enough years ago. The truth is for most purposes mediocre lenses and low MP counts will do just fine, but for some things more is better.
@@EjazKhanPhotography Yeah, but you should do it on the basis of good information. Once properly informed, you can make a decision on what best works for yourself.
Ask Tin Man Lee, judge of Wildlife Photographer of the year. He's a very accomplished photographer and says megapixel count is very important. Perhaps not for us, everyday folks, but there is a subtlety in detail that only resolution can give.
Good Morning how are you? Every one has different needs. Does not make them wrong or right. My goal is to make my clients happy with my artwork. I hope you have a wonderful day. Best Ejaz
I’m an amateur so I don’t have clients. I also have a small wallet so more pixels - Canon M6 II shooter - is cheaper and more portable than a 400mm lens.
Another point to add à 40 Mpx sensor is useless with a cheap lense. You need to have a sharp lense with a high resolution too. A a data will be bigger too. I don't use too many crop and my 26 Mpx with good lense is enough for big print in A3 ecen with a 1,6 to 1,5 crop. And the pixel size on the sensor must not be too smal if you take your shot in low light.
‘No photographer is as good as the simplest camera’ someone said. But in terms of capturing good pictures, that largely depends on the photographer - the person using the camera - not on pixels. Anyone for argument’s sake, can take a 100MP picture of say a dog turd, but it’s probably not gonna make a very compelling picture.
thanks man, all this math has always been a wonderment to me. I just know is that i get great results with both 12MP and 24MP. doubt that I will go with 45MP, like you said, "buy a better Lens" yes yes , thanks....peace
This is how you know this guy isn’t a retoucher. You need to see both aspects. Know what a high end retoucher(true high end retoucher) will want and need from you. Now if you do force them to work with lower quality images they will do that. But everyone knows the ability to work with more detail is always better. Then you can just reformat your whatever medium you need it for.
This low megapixel required argument ignores a very important aspect of photography; cropping. If you can always be close enough to your subject to fill the frame and never crop then low megapixels can work. That is next to impossible for wildlife photography; especially birds or smaller animals. Upscaling is creating data that is not in the RAW image. no thanks, that just lowers image quality. Yes, you really do need more MEGAPIXELS
More megapixel and hige resolution lenses is so important not just to print big ditailed also for good colorgrading , lets say you do a full body portrait , now you have less pixels on the face then a very close face portrait , it means that you have much less gradiant of light and color on the face wich gona lead you to sruggle with your color grading , hige mega pixel its a must for everyone who want quality in ditails and color grading , ofcors it must go with very high quality lenses ... i have the fuji xh2 with 40 megapixel and with very high quality lenses and when i work on the 100MP FUJI GFX files its just make every thing easier
Higher megapixels are important and benefiting for bad/amateur photographers like me... I need to crop most of the time on 70% of my photos. If I have a gig, I will get my 100mp over my 20mp camera out with me no question
So the only part of printing that megapixels matter is in getting to the image that you are printing. To answer the question of do megapixels matter the answer is it depends. If you can get the image you want to fill at least 50% of the frame you don't need a lot of megapixels but if you need to crop 70-80% than the more megapixels the better. I would disagree about the upscaling. I have numerous images that none of the upscaling software makes look reasonable, let alone good.

If you can get the image you want to fill at least 50% of the frame you don't need a lot of megapixels but if you need to crop 70-80% than the more megapixels the better.
I would disagree about the upscaling. I have numerous images that none of the upscaling software makes look reasonable, let alone good.
