What do mean by a 1.3 Mega Pixel Camera?

Well i guess most of you must be knowing what it means...but for those dummies like me who knew megapixels but not in the context of cameras here it goes...

Consider a size 1280 pixels x 1024 pixels if u multiply that u get 1310720 pixels which is 1.3 mega pixel. So in short a 1.3 mega pixel camera means one which can capture photos of maximum size 1280 px x 1024 px.

A pixel is a dot of light and a megapixel is one million of these dots.

VGA is a resolution that means 640 pixels across and 480 pixels tall, resulting in an image that's 1/3 of a megapixel. So, a 1MP picture has three times as many dots making up the image. If the two pictures were of the same image, the 1MP version would usually have better detail.

Well dats a short lesson for all you dummies (lol) :)
