New Youtube Video on How Digital Cameras Work

The people over at the Head Squeeze Youtube Channel recently uploaded a video on how digital cameras work.  The video features James May of the BBC show Top Gear.



I do have a couple of comment.

First, the video is a little off when it comes to the resolution available 10 years ago.  3 to 4 megapixel cameras were readily available in 2003/2004.  The 5 megapixel Olympus E-1 came out at the end of 2003.  The more consumer oriented, 4 Megapixel HP Photosmart 850 dates to fall of that year.  (Price was about $500 at the time).

The 1 megapixel era is closer to 15 years ago.

Oddly enough, this is about the time that the singing bass was popular.  (Watch the video)


Secondly, the "My Cat Looks Like Hitler" web forum?


Okay

Just couldn't leave that one alone.  Actually found one.


Edit: Forgot the hat tip on this. 
The Pop Photo writer had a similar response to the 1 megapixel statement.
