iPhone 6 Plus Camera has 8 Megapixels, but …

Some thing about iPhone 6 plus camera quality. Apple bucks via iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plusthe industry trend of increasing camera resolution, holding to 8 megapixels while much of the competition drifts towards 13 megapixels and beyond.
Yes, yes. iPhone 6 doesn’t have 13 or 15 megapixel.:) “More pixel - better quality” has a lot of misinformation about the tradeoffs between resolution and other aspects of image quality, and the truth is more complicated than “more is better” or “less is better.”

HD resolutions on the same sensor size can capture more detail if implemented well, seen in Samsung’s Galaxy S5, but image noise does tend to rise as the photosites are shrunk to fit more on a given sensor size. iPhone 6 (+ iPhone 6 plus) has other way.

The iPhone 6’s camera via 8 megapixels provide enough detail for most applications, and support a reasonable amount of cropping for web resolutions, but not as much as some of the competition. It’s realy cool.
