I always thought it was my new camera and still do. If I post some of my older photos from when I had a cheaper camera they come right up and I can post a bunch of them. I have had puter savvy friends tell me it isn't the pixel size but I still wonder.
You probably can blame your new camera.
It's not the pixel size but the pixel count. Newer cameras have more storage. The take pictures that are described in that data storage with more pixels than the older camera did. Newer cameras have more pixel count for each picture. Both cameras will upload what they have. Say you've setup your new camera to show it's pictures as 4x5s just like your older camera was setup. Your new ones pictures are sharper, right. My DSLR 4x5 prints are awesome. The 4x5s from the little digital that's probably 5-10 years old are pushing the description 'sharp'. They're more like 'not out of focus but close'. They upload in the blink of an eye.
hey, just thought of a photo school analogy.......... the comparision is sorta like comparing ISO results. 200 speed film has smaller grains than 1000 speed. You can buy 35mm in both speeds.
