More Megapixels needs better techniques

It was very important to maintain as much detail in this image, therefore I placed the camera on a tripod.

As we watch the new DSLRs being announced this year increasing files to as much as 36 megapixels, we will need to pay more attention to our technique to ensure we get the sharp images we desire.

Remember to use a tripod, trigger release, and mirror lockup when possible. The less movement we do with the camera, the sharper our image will be.

As these file sizes increase, we are storing more and more data on the sensor, therefore any movement to the camera will be more noticeable than with a camera with less resolution.
