Entry level Nikon 24mp?!
Scroll down 1/2 page. A D3200 with 24mp. Poor little 18-55mm kit lens, it
won't know what hit it... http://nikonrumors.com/ |

... Scroll down 1/2 page. A D3200 with 24mp. Poor little 18-55mm kit lens, it won't know what hit it... http://nikonrumors.com/ There's some sense in making the sensor resolution rather higher than the lens resolution. It reduces the need for an anti-alias filter, and having more samples in the JPEG output will reduce the defects introduced by JPEG, and allow more use of averaging (either by eye or by processing or by the display) and hence may reduce the visibility of JPEG quantisation. Yes, the image may look worse at the pixel level, but on the print or the display it may be better. [Me: I'm waiting for the Nikon 5200, as I find the swivel LCD useful.] Cheers, David |

It reduces the need for an anti-alias filter, Not really. Unless there won't be any lens mountable, now or in future, Nikon or Zeiss or any other 3rd party lens maker, that'll be better than the given lens quality/AA filter strength assumptions. (Which means: for fixed lens cameras that's true, for interchangeable lens cameras, not so.) and having more samples in the JPEG output will reduce the defects introduced by JPEG, Yep. and allow more use of averaging (either by eye or by processing or by the display) and hence may reduce the visibility of JPEG quantisation. Yep. And the same's true for noise. Yes, the image may look worse at the pixel level, but on the print or the display it may be better. And more pixels will always get more out of the lens. Just not necessarily nearly as much as the increased pixel count would indicate. Rich always looks at photos in 200% view, though ... -Wolfgang |

I would be surprised if an entry level DSLR has 24 MP, but it's not impossible if Nikon has a good deal on the sensors. Maybe Nikon want to strengthen their position as the supplier of choice? Or provide greater differentiation between DSLR and CSC lines? Cheers, David |

I'm thinking this is an entry-level camera, and that people are unlikely to use first-class lenses with it. Maybe, but then they wouldn't be fully compatible to the EF and EF-S range. I'll just note that comparatively cheap macro lenses and low-priced 50mm lenses can have ... rather high resolutions.
