It shoots FHD video which is 2 megapixels. 1920x1080 is 2 megapixels. That's almost certainly the size of the monitor you are looking at right now, and higher video resolution than is offered to you by your cable company.

Modern movies are projected at Cinema 4K, 4096x2160, which is just a little more size than four of your monitors stitched together. ("4K" or UHD is 3840x2160 and that will be the resolution of the next monitor and TV you buy.)

So videographers only need 8 megapixel resolution to get really amazingly high def video right now, unless they want to edit and crop and stuff

WTF is going on, you ask, when modern point and shoot cameras are 20 megapixels for like $200?

Yes but the video camera shoot 60 images per second!

What's so special about that?

Nothing in particular! It's a lot of data -- but the latest GoPros shoot 4K at 30 times a second and they are tiny.

I'm telling ya. Armed with this information I could be a really great Best Buy salesperson.

I have a shrub that could be a great Best Buy salesperson.

That's so weird, because I recently fixed up my yard with some tastefully landscaped Best Buy salespeople.

Best Buy Gnomes? Sqeee! Where ever did you find them?

When I dropped out of the pro photo game back in 2000 the price of a PhaseOne medium format digital back was something like 30,000. Just the back. No lens or body. And it had a whopping 20 mega pixels. And six months later was essentially obsolete.

Oh, and ditto on clod's wit.

Yeah, that's a killer in any electronic arena.
