<100 million pixels, everyone. 100 million pixels. The latest models of iPhone and Galaxy have 12 million pixels. In addition, while the base is around 12 million pixels (although some such as Huawei are equipped with 40 million pixel class sensors), suddenly 100 million pixels, which is an order of magnitude higher.

<One of the five cameras has 100 million pixels, and the price is about 52,800 yen (excluding tax). I think it's great that they brought an impactful 100-megapixel model as their first entry into Japan.

Is 100 million pixels really 100 million pixels?

<100 million pixels. 108 million pixels. When converted to megapixels, it is 108M pixels. The sensor size is 1/1.33 type. It is more than one size larger than the image sensor of a general smartphone, but the number of pixels is more than that.

Do you need 100 million pixels for your smartphone camera? What I learned using Xiaomi

<When shooting in 100 million pixel mode, it is 12032 x 9024 pixels. When multiplied, it is 108,576,768 pixels. Where are those sensors made?

If you set the camera app to 108M mode, you can shoot with 108 million pixels

Usual gas tank shot in 108M mode. I don't think you can tell the difference at all with thumbnails

If you display it at the same size, it will be so big. The image says 1/1600 sec F1.7 ISO108, but I don't think you should believe this value. If it's this day's brightness, it should be 1/10000 seconds or more, or if the shutter speed is correct, the ISO sensitivity should be much lower.

<Even if you say 100 million pixels, a sensor that can output 100 million pixels firmly, a lens that can properly resolve the details of 100 million pixels, and a processor that can process a huge amount of data of 100 million pixels It will not be realized without these three. As expected, it's a tough lens, but I'm doing my best to handle that area, and I think the Mi Note 10 has a better resolution than I expected.

<It's not as good as cameras costing more than 1 million yen, but there are people who say that if you have 100 million pixels, you don't need a digital single lens anymore, so even if the number of pixels is the same, there is a difference in ability. . But it looks better than I expected.

12 million pixels vs. 100 million pixels. 100 million pixels captures fine details that are barely possible with 12 million pixels.
