So you're in the market for a digital SLR camera. You're thinking about a Canon t1i, a Canon t2i, or a Canon t3i. Which one should you choose? One measurable characteristic you should consider is the devices resolution. Which of the cameras has the largest camera resolution?
The Canon t2i and t3i both win a slight edge in terms of resolution. They have a eighteen MP resolution, yet the Canon t1i has just fifteen megapixels.
Does this make a huge difference? Not really. Often, roughly 8 megapixels is just fine. Over and above that is unnecessary.
A regular 4x6 picture, produced at 300 dpi, requires around 1200 x 1800 pixels. That's a tad over two megapixels. A larger, 8x10 image requires 2400 x 3000 pixels. That's about 7.2 megapixels. Unless you're about to be creating huge pooster prints, you'll never going to use all the info stored in those extra pixels.
There are a few other justifications for why you might want to upgrade from the Canon t1i to a better camera - like a Canon t2i or t3i, or a Canon 60D or 7D. Still, pixelage ain't truly a good reason. The step up here is slight. Interestingly enough, all of these devices (the t2i/550D, the t3i/600D, the 60D, and the 7D) all come with the same chip, giving them exactly the same resolution and photo quality.
If you’re looking for a more detailed judgement of the three cameras, I wrote an rigorous comparison of the Canon t2i vs t3i. Digest that for a look at how the three digital cameras are the same and not alike. If you're in the market for, you probably also want to read this other thorough article about the conrast between the Canon t3i vs 60d vs 7d.
