megapixel
Digital image unit
A megapixel is one million pixels, used as a unit for measuring the resolution of digital images and camera sensors.
A 12-megapixel camera captures images containing roughly twelve million pixels.
Higher megapixel counts generally mean more detail, though image quality depends on other factors too: How many megapixels is your phone camera?
