I brought the old dinosaur, Nikon D50 with merely 6MP CCD image sensor out for some shutter therapy. I did it to prove an important point - more megapixels won't make you a better photographer. The chase for the latest and greatest and the megapixel war have gone a little ridiculous, with "everyday carry" casual camera made to have medium format 102MP, I thought was counter-productive in many ways. If you can't shoot good images with an old, 6MP camera, you won't be able to shoot good images with a 102MP camera either. More megapixels don't make better photographs - composition, lighting, story-telling, decisive moment, the emotion and idea in your images will make or break the quality of your photographs, not the megapixel count. I shared my thoughts in my latest video here (click).
