A Most Common Trail Camera Myth


More Megapixels = Better Pictures.

Simply put, no.  This is by far the most common trail camera buying mistake.  "Camera X has 18 megapixels!  Wow, it must take great pictures!!!"

Absolutely not.  In fact, most megapixels ratings on trail cameras are interpolated. What is interpolation?  Interpolation occurs when the native resolution of an imaging device is enhanced via software to a higher resolution. Think of megapixels as tiny dots on an image.  The more dots on the image, the more you can theoretically zoom into the image and see detail.  Also, the more dots on the image the sharper and clearer the image becomes.  As of this writing, most trail cameras have a native resolution of 4-5 megapixels.
