The truth of the megapixels

“Canon EOS 20D”

“Canon EOS 300D / Digital Rebel”

I lent Nono my 20D for [what was soon to be considered] the last Ateneo – La Salle UAAP game.

Before I continue… let me tell you now that he’s the only person I can trust with my cam (without me physically present that is), so for those who want to borrow it – forget it!

Anyways, he noticed something about the “resolution.” The 20D stores its images @ 72dpi (Dots Per Inch), while the 300D stores its images at 180dpi.

What gives?

nBLOG pseudo photoblog?

As you all can see, though not a dedicated photoblog, my weblog has entries with photographs. Photographs which will never find themselves included in the main Gallery. I’d like to call these photos “outtakes.”

However, I’ve added an index that shows every outtake ever posted. This way, none of the photo’s are wasted and/or forgotten. It’s pretty useful for updating the blog – if I want to reuse some photos for some posts, I don’t have to dig in the FTP and check out the filenames since the blog gallery already displays them.

You can also see the link under the archives header in the main weblog page – named nBLOG Photo Archive

UPDATE: the photoblog is no more… I moved all pics into Flickr.

20D in depth

“Canon EOS 1D MarkII”

“Canon EOS 20D”

“Canon EOS 10D”

“Read review”

Ok, here’s my lowdown of the Canon EOS 20D

There have been arguments that it’s more like a baby MarkII rather than a successor to the 10D. Of course, it still is shit compared to the MarkII but the 20D as of this moment, probably merits it’s own pricepoint – right smack in the middle of the 10D and MarkII.

Lucky for us, it’s still priced like a 10D… which makes it as valuable as a 300D at its pricepoint. Seems that Moore’s law is gaining.
