Why do old cameras have awful pic quality although the MP is higher then my phone?
So I have an old compact camera with 12.1 MP, which i got around 2010 or 2011. I recently got a charger to charge my old camera to try out cuz I thought it would have a better quality then my iPhone 7 Plus (12MP). But when I tried taking pictures with my old camera it looks like it only have 1MP. I'm so confused because the MP are the same yet the photo quality has such big difference. Any idea why?
MP is just the picture's size. Not the quality. The quality comes from the sensors in the camera for things like aperture, etc, so its understandable that a 2010/2011 camera wouldn't have the advanced sensors even a 2016 smartphone would have nowadays.
MP is not indicative of quality. Size of the the sensor is. A bigger sensor gives you a better picture. Then there's DPI which is another thing. MP was/is used as a marketing gimmick because people think more of something is always better.
The Number of Pixels is Not directly related to the Quality of the Results.
The problem is NOT with old cameras or MPs; the problem is YOUR lack of knowledge, skills and abilities. YOU need to learn how to operate the camera!

- Why is the iPhone 5s battery so awful? Just got brand new 5s yesterday. Immediately turned off all of the battery-hogging features (LTE, location services, notifications, app refresh, spotlight, airdrop). I don't hav any music or videos on here. All I used was safari and email. But the battery drains before my eyes. What the hell? Even my 4-year old iPhone 4 lasted longer. What gives?
- Why is my phone bill gone up higher? So my iPhone bill was at $25 and it increased up to $150 and now I have to pay $180. I barely do anything on my phone except go on social media s, please answer as soon as possible!
- What cameras have similar quality as Iphone 5? I'm looking for a camera for portrait and scenery photos. I really like the quality of my phone, but I would like something with better zoom that I can put a strap on and get a lot closer. Any ideas? It does not need to be super fancy and expensive, just similar to my phone.
- What are some good quality cameras? I'm really into photography and all that but my iphone camera has bad quality my dad is letting me get a camera but i don't know which one to get or what brand is good and it can't be ridiculously expensive we're are not looking to spend a lot. About $200-400
