Any point from keeping the original size of the camera pics?

Hello guys ,
I have a beginners samsung camera 12mega pixel shoots at 4000*3000*24
pictures doesn’t look clear in the 100% of the pic , and most of them still not clear after 50% !
so I thought of resizing all my pics to 50% ,
What do you think ? Any point from keeping the original size of the camera pics ?
and what’s the purpose of the 12mega pixel if it have to be downsized to get a good image ?
Answer #1
If printing yes, keep the original size.

You bought it, you should know, if you don’t then I have to assume you did no research. Thats always smart …
Answer #2
as it’s original size in meters : w:1.6m h:0.8m resolution:94 (photoshop info ) ,
Is that true ?
I wouldn’t print at this big size !!

after re-researching , most of cams pictures have the same results ,
back in the days , I had a 1.3mb cam , but it’s pics were good and clean , it doesn’t need resizing ,
but now all “big numbers” xxmega pixel cameras produces noisy pic when at 100% !
I’m no expert in these stuff , but the equation of the mega pixel misses an element ,,
cause most of DSLR market cams are only 10 mega pixel

any ideas ?

if the pic’s are not clear it’s something that you are doing wrong. Either the light is wrong, shutter speed or even focus.
The higher the quality the better the pic will print – if you want all small pic size you should have just bought a smaller mp camera
Answer #5
When you View 100% it wont show clearly on your computer screen as its a
smaller resolution than the photo. In terms of Printing You’d want to keep them
as Big as possible.
Answer #6
if you tend to resize your pics,
why don’t you just adjust the settings on your camera?
Answer #7
Like others have said, the original size should be kept if you’re attempting to print, but if you’re just using the photos for web/general use, feel free to resize them.
Also, you can bulk resize in Photoshop or by using an image resizer like http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/releases/view/30247 if you’re not familiar with Photoshop.
Answer #8
I take a lot of photo’s in RAW format that are 11-12 MB is size each. If you want to do decent photo-editing, then you really want them in as large a size as possible, same goes for printing.
You are probably viewing the images on a crap res monitor as someone has mentioned in the thread already.
Either buy a better monitor (possibly also a decent graphics card), or just set your camera to take lower res photo’s (that way you don’t need to resize them).
Answer #9
keep it as it is if u want to print in future otherwise shrink it
Answer #10
If you are just goign to store the pics on your PC and upload them on for e.g. on facebook than no point having big size.
But if you want to print the photos, then keep the original size! The larger the image is to begin with the more pixels that it contains, the larger it can be displayed or printed before pixelization occurs.

quality of the pic is not determined by the MP of that camera

Yes, if you later want to go back and edit the photo or use it for something, you will want the highest possible quality image to start with to get the best result.
