Megapixels >> Other elements determine the quality of photos and prints. They include: Photo quality in a final print is 200 pixels per inch (the "300dpi" figure that you hear sometimes relates to commercial printing presses and isn’t meaningful for digital cameras and digital lab printers). That said, 200 pixels per inch is no guarantee of high quality. The 10-megapixel point and shoot camera may have low contrast and [|sharpness]from the cheap lens plus high noise in shadow areas from the small sensor. You would probably get a better print from an old 6-megapixel digital SLR.

 * Megapixels refers to one million pixels. There is a correlation between the number of megapixels and image resolution – the higher the number of megapixels, the larger the image the camera can produce and the more detail that can be captured in the image.
 * a megapixel is equal to one million pixels.Digital images are made up of thousands of these tiny, tile-like picture elements. The more pixels, the higher the image resolution.Resolution relates primarily to print size and the amount of detail an image has when viewed on a computer monitor at 100%.
 * Elements of picture Quality
 * The number of megapixels is only one aspect relating to the quality of a camera, or the actual quality of a photo it is capable of producing. Factors such as [|camera sensor] and processor, and the optical quality of a lens, play equally important roles.
 * Good lighting of a subject
 * Proper focus and exposure
 * Image clarity (lack of blur due to camera shake or incorrect [|shutter speed])\
 * Shooting at the highest resolution and quality camera setting

=Megapixels Chart= Each colored box represents a certain number of megapixels. The numbers along the top and left side are print dimensions in inches at 300ppi ([|pixels per inch]). Most books and magazines require 300ppi for photo quality. For example, the chart shows that you can make a 5" x 7" photo quality print from a 3 megapixel camera.
