Why is every camera different when it comes to image size? I have had 3 cameras over the last 12 months, all of which seem to get bigger the more I pay.
My fuji was nearly 6x4 format, then the E20 was a bit wider, now my D100 is very long and find myself cropping most to be more in line to what I am used to seeing (although learning to utilise it the more i shoot)
Example is my last shot - even this had a slight crop to the righthand side. Seems longer than most other cameras that's all....?

what exactly do mean larger?
you are using an dSLR which simulates a 35mm negative at a ratio of 1:1.5 ( 8x12... )
what focal length was the lense at?
the shorter the focal length the wider the field of vision ( FOV )
the 300d's kit lense at it's shortest focal length is about 28mm equiv.
somewhat wide angle - zooming to 55mm standard lense on a 35mm camera would narrow the FOV considerably.. is this what you are talking about? my kodak camera doesnt have a zoom, so you acheived narrower FOV by getting closer to the subject rather than using a lense to do so... in a sense cropping with the camera rather than on the PC

Image size is the resolution itself! Obvious implication of more resolution is more image detais and size of file, visible in monitor or filesystem. An 6.3 MP has a size of ~ 3.5 "monitors" at 1024x768, it means that in original size you will need to scroll much more to see any details. In printing size this allow you to get more size with more quality. Soup had explained some issues of your lenses.
If you have 2 cameras with equals MP you can get diferent image sizes, due to diferent effective MP and aspect ratio. Digicams uses 3:2 or 4:3 aspect ratio. And the resulting image can be slightly diferent in dimension from one to one. |
