With digital photography, resolution is a measure of how many pixels make up a digital photo. It has become the holy grail of digital photos as the manufacturers compete to produce cameras with ever-higher pixel counts. The number of pixels in the camera’s image sensor, which determines how many will be in the actual picture.
The resolution of most current digital point and shoot cameras is measured in mega pixels, a mega pixel being a million pixels. Most current cameras have 2 to 5 mega pixels, while more costly ones can go up to 14 mega pixels. The more mega pixels the camera has, generally the better the quality of its photo. The higher the mega pixels for a photo may not provide a visible difference when just looking at the photo. However, when using ZoomInto.com and our high definition browser based zooming software the more pixels means the greater the zooming depth into your photo.

With most digital cameras you can actually choose a lower resolution than the camera’s advertised maximum. You can do this by entering the shooting menu on the camera and selecting the “photo size” or “resolution” option.
