What are pixels in a camcorder ?
A pixel is one dot that makes up an image. Your computer screen has rows of pixels, and so does your camera. For a camcorder, the amount of pixels determines how many dots the picture is made up of. Usually more dots means a higher quality. Different cameras have different amounts of pixels. Usually more pixels means higher quality. Terms: megapixel: 1 million pixels. resolution: amount of rows and columns of pixels, ie., your computer screen’s resolution has probably around a 1024 X 768 resolution. If you multiply those numbers you get the amount of pixels there are on your screen. Other thoughts: If you are buying a camcorder, I would consider getting one with at least 3 megapixels, to avoid a grainy, low quality image.
