What is a megapixel and why is it important in taking pictures?
Zoom in on any digital image closely enough, and you’ll notice it’s made up of tiny little squares. These are pixels. Image quality is most often described in terms of how many pixels a photo has. A million pixels is equal to 1 megapixel (MP). Your camera is rated according to its effective megapixels, or the number of megapixels that actually appear in each photograph.
