Each megapixel contains one million pixels. A CCD is made up of an array of photosensors (CCD elements or photosites) that are able to record a unique image detail. Each photosensor (or CCD element) creates an electrical charge proportional to the amount of light it receives and sends the charge to an A/D (Analog to Digital) converter inside the camera. M M M M M M M M One, two, and three megapixel cameras produce excellent 4 x 6-inch and 5x7-inch prints. The key difference lies in the quality of the image enlargements. The key differences between a one megapixel, two megapixel, and three megapixel CCD sensor are: M M M Because a higher resolution image contains more detail, you can: Enlarge an image without losing a significant amount of detail. Print an image to a high resolution output device (such as an EPSON Stylus ink jet printer or a printing press)—many industry analysts believe that the quality of images captured with two megapixel digital cameras is good enough to replace traditional film-based cameras.
