Then I definitely learned something. I need to play with my zoom features more. I used to get crappy results with my old HP as soon as I used any digital zoom (optical was great. However, the new Canon has surprised me.

I was confused by the title.
"How I Made a 1,474-Megapixel Photo"

The Canon is a couple of decimal places short of 1,474 Megapixels but now I understand that they were not talking about the cameras resolution, per say. Should have read it closer.

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
