We’re expecting to learn a lot from the Curiosity Rover currently exploring the surface of Mars. One important reminder it has already given us: megapixels are far from the most important measure when it comes to choosing a camera.
This isn’t news: we made this point when looking at how to choose a camera as part of our Lifehacker Night School series on better photography. But the fact that we’ve seen such awesome images from Mars, even when some of the Rover’s equipment only uses a 2MP camera, is a reminder that choosing the right subject and planning meticulously is just as important as aiming high with the specifications.
