Glossary > Maximum Image Resolution  

This refers to the actual number of pixels which make up the CCD or CMOS image sensor. However, it can be misleading - since not all of the pixels may be used to make up the final image.

A more realistic figure is the "Effective Resolution", which is indicated via rough bandings in our features tables, and quoted precisely in the detailed descriptions of each product.
