annasense is correct....you can pretty much put crap up on a billboard and from 500 feet it looks just as good as the internet.
The only reason we shoot so high a resolution (my D2x is the lowest rez we shoot) is we never know where our images will go.
We do not tell clients to pay us $150 an hour for studio time and shoot photos that will be limited where we can use them.
We charge $150 an hour whether we shoot D2x, medium format, betterlight or whatever. Now for $200, our Betterlight photo can go in a fashion catalogue, a center truck in Vogue, on a building in Times Square, on a billboard, in a newspaper, in a sell sheet..wherever.
Why shoot medium film and scan and then introduce steps in a process when digital blows all film away now? The only time we shoot film is for stadium panoramas at night, big architecture where we need our view camera or our aerials.
Anyhoo..annasense is right in this scenario, 8 megapixel will be fine. |
I don't think these are opinions for laymen..... You HAVE it from a reliable source.
