14 Megapixel Digital SLR Cameras |

While the 14 megapixel digital SLR cameras come with a few feature advantages over their competition, the real reason for owning a camera like this is if you like to make giant prints. 14 megapixel sensors aren't higher quality than their 10 or 12 megapixel counterparts: they just capture images that are LARGER. The larger the image, the better it prints at large sizes - in excess of 18x24 inches - with no loss of image quality. However, if you don't typically print a lot of your digital photos and your primary goal is to share your photos via web sites and online, then the large files created by a 14 megapixel digital SLR are actually more of a burden than benefit. |
Latest 14MP Camera Models
With 12 megapixels as the current standard, there aren't a ton of cameras with 14 megapixel sensors.
You'll see that only Pentax and Sony offer cameras with this megapixel count - Nikon leans more toward 12 megapixels, while Canon has made the jump to 15.
