Bildsensorauflösung

Bildsensorauflösung refers to the number of pixels a digital image sensor can capture. It is typically measured in megapixels (MP), where one megapixel equals one million pixels. A higher megapixel count generally means more individual light-sensitive elements on the sensor, allowing for finer detail capture and larger prints without significant loss of quality. However, megapixel count is not the sole determinant of image quality. Other factors such as sensor size, pixel size, lens quality, and image processing play crucial roles. A sensor with a very high megapixel count on a small sensor can result in smaller individual pixels, which may perform poorly in low-light conditions due to increased noise. Conversely, a lower megapixel count on a larger sensor can produce excellent image quality, especially in challenging lighting. When choosing a camera or considering image resolution, it is important to balance the megapixel count with these other sensor characteristics and the intended use of the images. For everyday viewing on screens or small prints, a moderate megapixel count is often sufficient. For professional photography, large format printing, or extensive cropping, a higher resolution may be beneficial.
