    I do wish smart phone manufacturers were competing to increase the MPs in the cameras because I’d love to be able to get some large prints out of the photos I take. But they just wouldn’t look as sharp as I’d want them.

    And no, I’m not buying a dedicated camera to carry around because I’m not an actual photographer, just a parent taking a bunch of photos of his kids.

      Just adding megapixels doesn’t give you more resolution, you also need a lens that can resolve the detail which often means a bigger lens.

      Cell phone MP can be fake anyway, I have a 48MP one but the fine print is the extra MP are interpolated based on the neighbours so it is basically shitty MP that is algorithmically cleaned up for higher resolution.
