Why is the newer version of this camera 12 MP instead of 14 MP

I learned that more pixels does not necessarily mean better pictures. What really matters is the size of the sensor. In compact or even superzoom cameras the sensor used is a small one.

I don't know why they dropped the MP . I really like the bigger zoom , but the lack of MP is a big disadvantage . I also take my older version with me on photo shoots because of the better MP. My idea was to get a better camera for distant wildlife shots , but now I have to carry 2 cameras . It's a good camera , but would be much better with greater MP .

The previous model went to F8.0 and it also took the same memory card size. The previous model shot raw and jpg but I see no mention of raw on the Olympus website for this camera. I'd like to see some photos at 26x before I buy it. There are only 2 things that bother me about the previous Olympus ultra-zoom and that is the 4 batteries - I'd much rather have a battery pack as it's easier to insert and close the battery cover and that if you take a photo using the viewfinder, the finished image still flashes on the LCD screen. Took me a long time to not be distracted by that.

My original Cannon camera was a few month old when it was melted in our house fire. When I went to replace it the camera shop said it was obsolete already due to new better models. Bought a SD 3500IS Digital Elph. Has a three inch touch screen with 14.1 mega pixels. It is a great camera and takes great pics. Use it on a Swaroski spotting scope with an adaptor for long range wildlife shots. I have to zero in on my subjects looking thru the three inch screen viewfinder. Could not ask for better.

It cannot shoot native 24P like a DVX100B or a GH2. It shoots 24P and then converts to 60i to give a film look. It's not a bad look, but something is missing visually.

This is an older model, so that is why you are not seeing it on the Nikon website.

NexC3. Larger sensor is the reason. Otherwise from afar, both camera's look very very similar.

I don't know much about videos, using cameras only for stills. For stills, I mostly use only around 6 mp. One time when I wanted to put pictures on the side of my van, I went up to the 24.3 mp. It only affects the largest size you can amplify to. Also, when you use high Mps, it slows transfers of pictures and you have to cut it down anyway, for emails, Facebook, etc. Sorry I don't know about videos!

What's important to me, is that the sensor is only 5 mp. For what it's worth the max 2D resulting JPG file is 6,016 x 3,384 = 20.4mp.

i think it is because the d610, d810, and the d750 are so new. they just havent updated their list i ran in to the same thing with my d750 an looked at the cameras on their list and made went from there. (they also work with my d750.

It is not a 13 MP camera, but its has some awesome features which makes it just as good. As far as 4G capable, it the Carrier supports 4G then the phone is 4G capable. Even if your carrier does not support 4G the phone does but you need both in order for you to enjoy 4G.

Higher megapixels is seen by many as a disadvantage, because you are squeezing more dots into the same sensor size. Even the full frame Nikons like the D3S or the D700 (which blow away either the D3100 or the T3) have 12 megapixels. I just watched a video review which confirms that in high ISO low light shooting, you are better off with the T3's 12 megapixel sensor than the T3i's 18 megapixel sensor. You will get a cleaner image at 12 megapixels. For me, I want a camera that can shoot really clean images at ISO 800 or 1600 at night. That is most important to me.

Yes it is. That's the reason I bought it greater clarity of pictures than the higher MP, particularly outside. Great all around, best camera!

For me major difference was Canon having ISO 100 - 6400 for shooting from bright to dim light whereas Nikon D3100 only has ISO up to 3200. That makes Canon a much better option as far picture clarity in dim light is concerned. I do agree that it is 12 mp but that's not too less compared to 14mp. Major CONS of canon do include 720mp video but if video isn't that important, i would stick with CANON..

my old canon 6 mega pixel can do a nice 24 x 36.....which by most consensus it shouldn't!a 14 mega pixel can do 11 x 14. I'v no problem doing 16 x 20 with my nikon p500 which should be a 12 mega pixel...it's in another room and I'm feeling lazy. hope that helps you

Their Version 12 was phenomenal. But from what I understand, the company was sold and is under new ownership, so product isn't quite what it used to be. Good luck!

Native (in camera) recording is 8 bit 4:2:0. So you compromise image quality by using internal memory.
