To put it simply, resolution is the amount of detail that your digital camera records of an image. For digital cameras, the number of pixels is measured just like your computer monitor. Some of the first digital cameras had resolution of 480 x 640 pixels. The one megapixel digital cameras have a resolution of 1280 by 960. In a digital photographic print, 300 dots per inch is considered the standard for small prints. Some photographic printers print at less than 250 dpi. A 3 megapixel camera will have a resolution of about 2048 x 1536. A 5.3 megapixel camera has a resolution of about 3008 x 1960.

A good six megapixel camera can surpass 35mm quality in detail. The six megapixel camera will provide the same level of quality (maybe a little bit better) that your old 35mm camera gave you. A 6.3 megapixel camera has a resolution of about 3088 x 2056.

What about seven and eight megapixel cameras? An eight megapixel camera approaches the quality of the professional medium format camera. I do not recommend that the average person purchase a digital camera resolution higher than eight megapixels.

Digital cameras with resolutions of 10 to 13 megapixels are well in the quality range of good 120mm professional cameras. There are professional digital camera systems with resolutions of 20,40, and even a hundred megapixels. For digital cameras, the number of pixels is measured just like your computer monitor.
