I am looking for some advice on the subject of digital camera resolutions. I am fairly new to photography and presumed that the number of megapixels were the key to resolution.
I have recently bought a 5 megapixel Sony DSCV-1 but have noticed that the maximum dpi resolution I can get is 72dpi. Samples from other sites always show this resolution for this camera.
I have also noticed that image samples for cameras such as the Nikon D70 can show resolutions of 300 dpi, or Canon EOS 300D at 180dpi for some samples.
The question I'd like to ask is whether these more advanced SLR cameras automatically take a higher dpi resolution image or whether the resolution can be manually adjusted on these cameras?
