Re: What have you done with your camera today

Yes a 6 MP camera can take good photos until, you want to enlarge or crop, then you loose detail. I had a 6mp camera and found it very restricting in its capabilities. (Nikon D70s).
My problem was trying to get pictures of birds nesting on an island in the middle of a lake. Yes a larger zoom lens might have helped but that then meant carrying a couple of lenses and risk of dust on the sensor when swapping them over
With my D810 36 Mp camera I can crop and enlarge, as shown above. Same photo with no or little loss of clarity.
This is one of the reasons I went for this particular camera.
Admittedly I can get nowhere near the same number of shots as yours
extract from exif data for that photo is 74 mp In NEF (RAW)
The cropped version even shows up more in that section than the whole picture above it.
of course if you have a good camera then one must also have a good lens . No good with a consumer lens on a pro camera.
This setup of mine even needed fine tuning I mentioned before elsewhere
