I was thinking monitor dimensions so I was close :)

Actually for digital cameras, all are not 4:3 -- it depends a lot on the CMOS sensor. (3:2 being popular)

? 3008 x 2000 (Large, 6 MP)
? 2256 x 1496 (Medium, 3.4 MP)
? 1504 x 1000 (Small, 1.5 MP)

A good place to spend time looking at lots of specifications: www.dpreview.com


Thanks. I didn't know that. I would have thought that 16:9 would be getting popular because of HDTV (e.g., 1920 x 1080), but maybe they haven't gotten to that yet.

That is a great web site too.

I just found one that looks useful: KenRockwell.com. It has info info on how to make good photos. One of his pages is "the megapixel myth," but it looks one of his is a 10 megapixel camera. I agree with his ideas about color, so I'll be paying attention to that next time I buy a digital camera (maybe this summer). David Pogue was very enthusiastic about the Canon SD800IS -- makes me want one.
