A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Smartphone companies advertising their 128 megapixel phone camera. They know most people will hear that and think "WOW, 128 MEGAPIXELS!!"

At least one upside to high mp count on phones, along with computational photography, is that it'll take 4 pixel shifted photos. Delivers a 32mp photo with less noise and more DR than a small phone sensor could deliver with one photo

That sounds good in theory until the image is compressed to atoms and looks horrible 💀

Exactly--they're banking on most buyers thinking megapixels = quality
