minus-squarekautau@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·2 months agoThe Webb telescope has roughly 54 megapixels of sensors. It cost about 10 billion dollars. So around 185 million dollars per megapixel. Home Depot has 1080p security cams for about 20 dollars. 1080p is 2.1 megapixels. So about 9.5 dollars per megapixel.
minus-squaremasterofn001@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up9·edit-22 months agoMy phone camera has a max resolution setting of 8000x6000 (48MP) Purchased on sale (black Friday) in Canada. Total payment was 360$CAD. $7.50 /MP Also have a 2k security camera I was gifted. Retail about 130. $30/MP Security camera can do night vision and full color night time. It isn’t the megapixels. It’s the sensors.

minus-squarekautau@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoWell yeah, that’s why this thread is about the dollar amount per megapixel as a general rating, not purely the total amount of megapixels
minus-squareivanafterall@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoBillions of dollars spent and not even a single person captured in the photo? What a scam.
Multiple billion $ camera vs 30$ camera
