Introduction
Imago supports the capture of images from different camera sources, including:
- Digital SLR camera with Imago Capture (Which Camera Should I Buy?)
- Mobile phone cameras (Android) with Imago Mobile.
This article recommends some smartphones models and some camera specifications covering a range of prices.
A key criteria for capture of high quality images is the megapixels count are listed.
- A megapixel means one million pixels. A 12-megapixel camera can produce images with 12 million total pixels.
- A 1-megapixel camera will produce an image roughly 1200 pixels wide by 900 pixels high.
- A high number of megapixels matters most when zooming in or cropping a photo. For example, some phones allow “zoom in” without losing quality, without the need for an optical zoom lens.
- Photographs with more megapixels have more detail, but are larger in file size, and therefore can take longer to transfer or send, and take up more storage space.
A higher megaixel count is preferable because of the detail captured.
