If I move from a 10MP camera (Canon EOS 40D) to an 18MP (EOS 60D), will I see a difference in image quality in modestly cropped prints up to about 11x14 or 13x19? A. You will see a noticeable increase in sharpness in the images from the 18MP camera, especially if you look at the prints a few inches from your face. A critical factor that people often forget (and we’re guilty of this, too) is viewing distance, as you don’t ordinarily view a large print on the wall with your nose right up to it. A typical close viewing distance for the print sizes you mention would be 27 to 30 inches, where you wouldn’t be able to detect much difference in sharpness, if at all. However, while an increase to 18MP from 10MP might sound like a big jump, our lab tests showed an increase of about 24 percent (2100 lines per picture height for the 40D versus 2600 lines for the 60D)—substantial, but not huge.

See the whole gallery here TECH SUPPORT Lens Basics 101 Is it better to use a full-frame lens on a DSLR that has a smaller sensor? No. Since the smaller sensor records only the central "sweet spot" of the image circle, full-frame lenses theoretically should give you images that are sharper around the edges than digital-only lenses do-but there's scant evidence of that in the real world. Full-framers have some benefits: Retaining their utility if you upgrade to a full-frame DSLR with the same mount, for instance. But the crop factor means they can't give you an ultrawide angle of view-that 17mm lens becomes a 25mm equivalent on a camera with an APS-C-size sensor. So, what does a range such as f/3.5-5.6 on a lens mean? On less-expensive zooms, the lens gets slower as you move to longer focal lengths. On an 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, for instance, you can set an aperture as big as f/3.5 at 18mm, but at 55mm the widest you can set is f/5.6. At an intermediate focal length-say, 35mm-the maximum aperture will be around f/4.5.
