Even megapixels are not a guarantee (since the camera might do some processing) but at least they relate to the resolution _of the sensor_.
It is a bit like the nanometer nodes of the cpu processes vs using the surface size of the final cpu.
- account42 4y agos/the camera might do some processing/the camera is almost always doing processing and only captures ¼ of the information content compared to what its marketed resolution implies/ That is, the sensor will have that many "pixels", but each sensor pixel only captures a single color and the rest is interpolated.
- mejutoco 4y agoAgree. A consumer camera might advertise too many megapixels, while more professional cameras, like medium format cameras (the ones used for architecture, for instance) do not distort it so much. In this, it is like the node size. It is not directly comparable but gives a reference to talk about.
