Be fair: the engineers are the ones who can't do it this time: some CCDs use 3 pixels (RGB) to get color. Color doesn't come easily, so the actual focal plane geometry can be a real headache. 1.2 may be the actual "good" number. 1.3 may indicate some test/autofocus pixels exist along the edges. All these numbers may be a lie as far as actual monochromatic optical resolution is concerned at the centers of the R, B, and G passbands. Pixel counting is not where most folks really want to go.. > -----Original Message----- > From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org > [mailto:tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of Jay Kline > Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 6:19 PM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Digital cameras > > > Never ask a marketer to do math.... > > > > It's just the number of pixels in the image (in > millions).
