When I use megapixel cameras, I am never positive which one to use. Do I use a 1, 2, 3 or 5? What do I get from using it?

I recently found a cheatsheet that is helpful and wrote a review on how to use it: http://ipvideomarket.info/review/show/21


How are you deciding what resolution of megapixel camera to use?

QUESTION: Why is there always enough time to go back and fix it right a second time??

good info ! obviously frame rate & bandwidth needs to be taken into account as well.

Metafizz,

Yes, I agree. Bandwidth and storage are huge factors in using megapixel cameras.

Using this cheatsheet will only help in projecting what type of identification you might get giving your scenario and camera choice.

The bandwidth and storage issues are really hard and I think it could be a number of years before these are overcome for most mainstream buyers.

Best,

John
