doing a little research on mine. it cheats. everything says the camera is 1.3, but it really interpolates up to that size. (yet, i still get better pictures in its faux 1.3 mode than in 0.3)

how ghetto.

I should of known the effective mp was 1.92 to begin with. I was not thinking straight as my brain is fried from studying for exams!! AHHH I have no time to do anything right now.

I would have posted my answer before you (see previous post) but I was looking for my calculator...

The array of sensors on the CCD/chip is the Total pixels (the one the dealers like to list). Some of the pixels around the outside are not used to capture the image, and the number exluded varies between cameras.
The Effective pixel count is the number of sensors actually used to capture an image. For example, my camera is listd at 2.1MP, but the largest image it captures is 1600x1200 pixels = 1.92MP effective resolution.

what exactly does this mean?

What are the dimensions of the largest photo you can take?

Oh, i guess it says the effective rather than actual

The canon powershot pro90 is doesn't list the effective pixels, either. Effective is 2.6, actual 3.34.

I have a camera that i registered a while ago and i was curious so i was browsing to see who else has it. Well, i saw that the amount of megapixels is incorrect but the camera model is correct. Is there any way to change this? I know, i'm bored and bothered but the smallest things. But its SNOWING!WOOOOO HOOOO! :dance -oh darn, not the chat room ;-)
