“CANON CAMERA GETS THE CREDIT

“The camera I used is a Canon Mark 3, 21 megapixel. The speed was 1600 with a 2 gig card. My husband and I did not see anything in the sky while I took photographs. I give credit to the camera for its quality, speed and the high megapixel to have captured something we could not see with our eyes.”

These - http://images.google.com/images?q=Canon+Mark+3&um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=N&imgsz=huge - are pictures taken with a Canon Mark 3.

They look nothing alike.

“The camera I used is a Canon Mark 3, 21 megapixel. The speed was 1600 with a 2 gig card.”

So, they spent about 6 to 8K on a camera, and then only put a 2 Gig card in it and then shot a landscape at 1600 ISO. As a one time professional photographer none of this makes any sense at all. The sole reason for getting a 21 megapixel resolution is to gain enough resolution so you can blow the picture up to absurd sizes, or so you can crop small parts without losing resolution. Shooting a landscape on a sunny day at 1600 ISO defeats the entire purpose of having a camera of that pixel size, and if you spend 6K on a camera, you would probably know that.

It aint the megapixels...its the lens. 21 megapixels still looks like crap when you use a 28mm lens.
