Image Quality—Megapixel CCD sensors
EPSON digital cameras include a one megapixel, two megapixel, or three megapixel CCD sensor, which
determines the resolution of the images. Each megapixel contains one million pixels.
determines the resolution of the images. Each megapixel contains one million pixels.
A CCD is made up of an array of photosensors (CCD elements or
photosites) that are able to record a unique image detail. Each
photosensor (or CCD element) creates an electrical charge
proportional to the amount of light it receives and sends the charge to
an A/D (Analog to Digital) converter inside the camera.

One, two, and three megapixel cameras produce excellent 4 x 6-inch and 5x7-inch prints. The key
difference lies in the quality of the image enlargements.

Because a higher resolution image contains more detail, you can:
Enlarge an image without losing a significant amount of detail.
Print an image to a high resolution output device (such as an
EPSON Stylus ink jet printer or a printing press)—many
industry analysts believe that the quality of images captured
with two megapixel digital cameras is good enough to replace
traditional film-based cameras.
