Techniques Glossary Megapixel
Used to describe a digital camera that has a CCD that delivers more than one million pixels.
1 megapixel or less: Cameras in this range (e.g. web cameras or cell phone cameras) have very low image resolution. Don't expect to be able to print high-quality photos using these cameras.
A high MegaPixel count comes in handy when you want to crop pictures, and when you want to make enlargements. For uncropped 4x6 prints, 2 megapixels are usually enough, but for 5x7s and 8x6s, you kinda need to go up to 3 if you want a sharp picture.
HOW MANY MEGAPIXELS?
A megapixel refers to one million pixels. The amount of detail that the camera can capture is called the resolution, and it is measured in pixels.
