3.7 Megapixel Crop of Pier 1 image.

Here's a cropped version of the Pier 1 image showing more detail. Even this image when cropped in Photoshop was still 2229 pixels wide by 1672 pixels high = 3.7 Megapixels. I've resized this for the blog to 720 pixels wide at 72 DPI...

It's quite incredible to think that today i'm dragging around a 14.3 Megapixel camera that fits in my hand, shoots amazing quality still and video images and costs under $700, whilst only 7 years ago my EOS 1D Mark II set me back $7500 and was only 8.2 Megapixels... What seemed brilliant back then seems very ho-hum now...

The detail in this cropped image is quite astounding... The handling of the lights is not ideal but it is quite serviceable. As a travel and documentary camera the G1X is very good.
