By no means a photographer. But I believe you do need a certain mp to maintain image sharpness, no?

Happy to see the result and 4MP had no issue actually unless you plan to zoom.

like i said, nobody views their photos at 100% zoom, nor 200%.
they just snap , upload to instagram or facebook.

if you're gonna bring photography enthusiasts / professionals into the picture, they have their dslr for that job.
zooming at 100% is only an excuse to say that 4mp is bad compared to 8mp.

no no.. main factor for sharpness is the quality of the lens... High megapixel = bigger size picture.. it could be a soft large size picture.. but it doesnt contribute to sharpness...here the lens plays a significant role.

+1, having pictures update on these kind of platform.. the only matters that matters is the color saturation, details and etc... not the picture size.

actually megapixels do play a part in photo sharpness.. when zoomed in that is

Zoomed in above 300% crop.. then yes.. but in HTC one's case.. their pixels are big and kinda competes well even with those 13mps shooters. In lowlight condition, it blows them away

Basically phone camera is for general consumer group that want to take pictures at convenience without the hassle of bringing high-end cameras.. thus the "general" utilization is uploading tot he social networking platform easily.. and on those kind of platform we don't zoom in, do we .

So displaying those pics on big hi-res monitor or tv screen will show no difference at all to naked eyes? If so, then HTC did the right thing. So increasing the mp on cameraphone is basically useless?

anything above 8mp is basically useless unless u do professional photography with your phone.. which no one does.
Hi res monitor as in 1080p.. then it will look the same..

here other factors plays the work of image qualities.. not MP..

hoho.. some will expect everything in one when that's features there... lol

how high res are your monitors?
4mp is rated at 2568 x 1568. any higher resolutions will be needing dual monitor setups and 4k tvs.

unless if everyone can afford dual monitor setups and 4k tvs, then i will gladly back off

literally yes.. but still there will be critics around... from A fans boy or SG fans boy. it will be a never ending debate... on whether Ultrapixel or higher MPs

likewise you cant satisfy everyone. Stick to the majority will be the best choice.

buy an extra camera will be the alternative choice..

8 VS 4 megapixel

As you can see image quality is not dependant on Megapixels

Haha. Understood. So next time must know what lens they are using.
