Larger pixels on full frame maeke for less camera shake?? :/

[WayneF]

When I went from a 12mp D90 to a 16mp D7000 I noticed that my photographs weren't as sharp as before. It took a while to realize that the higher resolution is capable of resolving camera shake or motion blur better and that my camera-holding technique needed some work. After a while getting accustomed to the higher resolution my photographs were just as sharp as before. When I went from a 16mp D7000 to a 24mp D7100 the same problem occurred and once again it took a little time for me to improve my camera-holding technique to accommodate the higher resolution.

If you print the same 8x10 inch print from each camera body, that 8x10 print enlargement degree shows the same camera shake on any of them.

If you zoom in to look at pixels, more pixels will show more detail. I don't see this as any disadvantage. D800:

In my view its not just adapting to a new 100% view and changing your working method; its also learning that as the MP goes up the 100% view gets larger and larger. You're blowing the photo up to much bigger sizes and thus noise and softness are going to be more apparent.

These days when I shifted from my 400D to the 7D I also shifted from judging sharp at 100% to 60% because the view is similar on the 7D at 60% to what it is on the 400D at 100%. Remember you'll rarely output at 100% it will always be resized for the medium you're displaying on. I tend to use 100% now mostly for noise and sharpness settings when editing.

Note improvement of method is important, but it might just be your friend needs to view at a smaller scale size to get a view he's more used to seeing (also compare his prints/digital displays - the larger MP Camera might be "softer" at 100% but it might well be as sharp or sharper when he's resizing for print or the net.

I forget where I picked it up, but what I tell people to do, is to print out an 8x10 and hold it at arm's length. If it still looks blurry, then you have a problem. If it looks fine, then you're OK.

wtf is a crook shoulder?

I'm thinking that it is a arm with a will of its own.
