Refers to one million pixels on the CCD. Cameras with a resolution of 1024 x 768 don't yet qualify for the megapixel category as they only have 786,432 pixels. Cameras with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 and above do belong in the megapixel category. Double-megapixel refers to cameras with 2 million pixels on the CCD. These cameras yield near photo-quality prints and are the camera of choice for people who are concerned about printed output, including families, business people and semiprofessional users.

A unit used to measure the resolution of a digital camera sensor. One megapixel equals 1 million pixels.

This is 1,048,576 pixels. This term is most often used when talking about how fast 3D graphics cards can pump data to the display device. As a general rule, higher megapixel ratings typically equate to higher maximum performance. See also gigapixel. This term is also being used to expres the capabilities of a digital camera (either photo or film). In that situation it indicates the potential resolution of an image taken. For example, an image of 2500 x 1600 pixels (without using interpolation) can be taken with a 4 Megapixel camera.

The manufacturers way of describing the resolution of a Digital camera; a 6 megapixel camera has a resolution of 6 million pixels. (see Pixel)

One million pixels. A higher pixel rating represents a larger image that has a higher resolution when compared to low-megapixel images. High-megapixel images (two megapixels and above) can be blown up to a larger size with less loss of quality. Low-megapixel (one megapixel or less) images will be perfect on greeting cards, but certainly not on A4-sized paper. I recommend that one purchases a 2 megapixel camera, at the very least.

The measure of the resolution of a digital camera with an image sensor capable of capturing one million pixels.

Refers to the number of millions of pixels in a digital camera's image sensor. A 4 megapixel camera has an image sensor with 4 million pixels.

One megapixel is the same as one million pixels - a popular measurement of the size of images output by digital cameras. Simply it is a measurement of the area of the digital image. If the image is 2500 by 2000 pixels it is 5 megapixels.

CCD resolution of one million pixels. A megapixel digicam has an image resolution of 1280x960 pixels or greater. The most common digicams are rated at: 1.3 megapixel, 2.11 megapixel and 3.34 megapixel.

This is an approximate measure of an image's resolution. One MegaPixel equals approximately one million pixels. It is only approximate because it is a term derived by the marketing departments of camera manufacturers, not engineers, and different formulas are used to determine what a MegaPixel is, including varying the definition of one million pixels. Some argue that a MegaPixel is one million pixels. Some argue that it is 1,024,000 pixels. It was derived to help digital camera buyers more readily understand the resolution of a camera. A more accurate measure of an image's resolution is its pixel count.

A term referring to an image or display format with a resolution of approximately 1 million pixels.

Digital cameras contain electronic sensors that read light. The sensors record light in a grid of pixels (picture element). Most camera sensors today have over 3 million of these pixels or 3 megapixels and some have many more. The more pixels in a sensor, the more detail a picture can contain and the higher the resolution and quality.

A measure of resolution that reflects the ability of a digital camera to record detail. The more megapixels a camera has, the more detail its images can contain and the more they can be enlarged without losing clarity. More megapixels aren't always necessary, however. For more information see DCHQ's First Time Buyer's Guide.

Equal to one million pixels.

A measure of the resolution of an image or image sensor (such as a digital camera) which means "one million pixels." The larger this number is, the clearer the image will be and the larger it can be printed.

1 million pixels; refers to the resolution of a graphics device such as a scanner, printer or digital camera. The more megapixels, the finer the resolution.

A measurement of 1,048,576 pixels (approximately 1 million pixels).

Term used to describe a CCD chip containing over a million pixels. Digital cameras containing such chips are usually described as 'megapixel' cameras.

Pixels are tiny dots of color that make up a digital image, and a million pixels equals a megapixel. The number of megapixels determines the resolution or the clarity of your photos. The more megapixels, the better the resolution.

A megapixel is equal to 1 millions pixels.

A megapixel is 1 million pixels. The number of pixels is determined by multiplying the number of pixels on the horizontal by the number of pixels on the vertical. For example a digital camera with a 1280*1024 pixel resolution will have 1,310,720 pixels total. This means that a camera with that resolution will be approximately labeled as a 1.3 megapixel camera. Some manufacturers will state that their camera has a certain number of megapixels when in fact the camera only uses a percentage of these pixels, this is called the effective number of pixels.

A Million Pixels ( see Pixel) Close Window

The number of pixels per inch that a digital camera can produce in an image; one megapixel is 1,000 pixels per inch. The higher the megapixel value, the higher the image resolution.

Digital photos are comprised of pixels. One megapixel is equivalent to one million pixels. Today's cameras are available in one to six megapixel resolution formats. A camera that can capture more megapixels can capture more detail and sharpness in a photo. An image with more megapixels can be enlarged and printed without sacrificing image quality.

One million pixels. Digital cameras capture images with a sensor, comprised of an array of light-sensing pixels (picture elements). A camera's resolution is simply the total number of pixels packed onto the CCD.

A megapixel is a measurement of the number of pixels a digital camera can generate. Digital photos are made of pixels arranged in a chessboard-like grid called a bitmap. A bitmap photo measuring 18001200 pixels contains 2.1 million pixels (18001200 = 2.1 million) and is taken by a 2.1 megapixel camera. Mega in this respect is another word for million.

One million pixels or more. The more pixels that exist in an image the higher the resolution and therefore the greater the quality of the image. Many new Kodak cameras are equipped with megapixel sensors.
