Image Quality—Megapixel CCD sensors

EPSON digital cameras include a one megapixel, two megapixel, or three megapixel CCD sensor, which 
determines the resolution of the images.  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.  


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:

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.
