As a reply to asskiicker, as a semi-pro photographer, I have to say that your comment regarding megapixels is still misleading. An underexposed, blurry, or just plain bad exposure isn't made better by megapixels. The author of the article made a good point with his composition regarding a camera's image sensor size and type, compression, lenses, image stabilization / vibration reduction, and who is taking the picture. I certainly have seen a great many pretty pictures, with bad color correction - blurs and horrible depth of field as taken from a crappy $400 10 MP handheld, as opposed to beautiful compositions sloppily crafted from a $300 old 6 MP DSLR with some thought applied in crafting the exposure. While you placed the emphasis on megapixels - I think you essentially lost sight of the point of the article which is that megapixels aren't everything when buying a camera. SSD drives are the next big thing for storage ; however, a quick cost-benefit analysis over traditional hard disk storage would quickly show that SSD is presently something of a novelty. With greater vulnerability to unexpected loss of power and limited write ability, chances are that a $200 1 terabyte drive will outlast, outrun, and outdo an SSD - not to mention be cheaper. Unless if you're trying to use a laptop while using a pogostick, I have doubts that SSD will be able to unseat the reliability of hard drives, but hey - pogosticks and laptop use may take off!! Oh, and while I enjoy using my 1080p monitor for my computer, I hate watching DVD's or Blue Rays on it. DVD's midly show compression because of the high def, and Blue-ray - while sharp, still shows too many artifacts to not give me a headache. Give me a Blue-ray player that is smooth and I won't complain as much. " Everybody wang chung tonight "
