 | | Confusion over megapixels vs. megabytes | | Dear CNET members,
Happy Friday! Before I get started, I want to bring your attention to a pretty sweet deal I ran across on the CNET Download.com Software Deal blog that my buddy Catherine posted, so if you're running out of holiday gift ideas for someone or need to treat yourself to something, check out this bundle in which they're offering $170 worth of apps from AVG, IObit, Smith Micro, and Foxit for only $30 bucks! Not bad at all considering one year of the paid version of AVG Anti-Virus is $34.99 by itself. So if you're interested, check it out here. Now let's get started on helping member John with his confusion over megapixels vs. megabytes.
Wow, this week we had more than 70 responses to this topic to help John out, and for those of you who are newbies to the digital camera/photo world, this is one discussion you don't want to skip over, because the definitions for megapixels and megabytes can be very mind-numbing when it comes to figuring it all out. In this discussion you'll find all sorts of great answers from the more technical explanations to the ones that are straightforward and simple. Even a few tips are included on how to take better photos. In all, a great discussion to dive into. I have selected a few answers in the Q&A section, but those only scratch the surface of what's more within the discussion, so read through them all. And if you are either still confused or would like to add more to the discussion, join us in the discussion to make it even more informative. Thanks, everyone, for your time. Have an awesome weekend!
Cheers!

CNET Community manager |  | | Last week's question | | | Confusion over megapixels vs. megabytes
 I have a new 14.2 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S6000 digital camera. When I take a photo and check its properties, it shows that the size is 1.8 megs. How do I get it to increase in size up to the 14 megs? I have used a Kodak camera that was only 12 megapixels and when I checked the properties, it showed a size of 3.2 megs.
That does not make sense to me. How is it that the camera with the larger megs takes photos with fewer megs? I have tried about every setting on the Nikon but cannot get it to take a photo with more than 2 megs in size. What does the 14.2 megs stand for? Is it not the size of the photo? Please help me; I'm puzzled by this.

 Netbooks, I need advice. I've been looking at these and trying them out at stores. These are so portable and one can have a "combined" e-reader, gaming station, Internet access, and video/music player, all on the go. But the 1GB of RAM and 160 to 250 GB hard drive memory makes these computers so slow. Do you think it is better to get a Netbook at the current price, or get a very small notebook/larger netbook (11-12" screen) with 2 GB RAM and pay a little more, or wait and see if this media improves and gets faster and cheaper? I like this better than a cell phone because of the screen size. But I hate the slowness. Do you think the price will go down? Advice, opinions, any input please...I'm dying to get a Netbook, yet I hesitate. Thanks.
