Examining the Canon t1i, t2i, and t3i Image Resolution

So you're looking for a dSLR. You're considering a Canon t1i, a Canon t2i, or a Canon t3i. Which one sshould you choose? One definining specification you could look at is the devices megapixels. Which of them has the best camera resolution?

The Canon t2i and t3i both win a tiny edge when looking at resolution. They claim a 18 megapixel res, and the Canon t1i has a measly 15 megapixels.

Does this make a huge difference? Not really. Often, about eight megapixels is more than enough. Anything else is unnecessary.

A regular 4x6 print, printed at 300 dots per inch, requires around 1200 x 1800 pixels. That's a little over 2 megapixels. A larger, 8x10 image needs 2400 x 3000 pixels. That's about 7.2 megapixels. Unless you're going to be making large pooster prints, you'll never going to use all the data stored in those extra pixels.

There are a few other justifications for why you might want to step up from the Canon t1i to a better camera - like a Canon t3i, or a Canon 60D or 7D. However, resolution ain't truly a legitimate reason. The boost here is tiny. Surprisingly enough, most of these SLRs (the t2i/550D, the t3i/600D, the 60D, and the 7D) all come with the same chip, leaving them with just the same resolution and picture quality.

If you need a more detailed comparison between all the cameras, read this thorough review of the Canon t2i vs t3i. Digest that for a analysis how the three digital SLRs are the same and not alike. If you're shopping for a camera, you would too want to read yet another comprehensive analysis about the variations between the Canon t3i vs 60d vs 7d.
