Its individual pixel sensors can be larger and soak in more light, even if there are fewer of them.

The camera uses a 2048 x 1536 pixel sensor and has a fixed 7x optical zoom lens.

Visible fixed-pattern noise is often caused by hot pixels - pixel sensors with higher than normal dark current.

A line-scan camera has a single row of pixel sensors, instead of a matrix of them.

Foveon officials said they would demonstrate the new 16.8 million pixel sensor for the first time today.

The DX-10 was an entry-level Fujifilm digital camera featuring a 810,000 pixel sensor (1024x768 or 640x480 image size) and a fixed-focus lens.

The arrangement of vertical pixel sensors in the CCD divides the spectrum into distinct and non-overlapping intervals.

The DMC-GH2 employs an 18.31 mega total pixel sensor.

Point-and-shoot cameras, for example, are very compact, and often the only way to increase the resolution is to cram additional, smaller pixel sensors onto a chip.

The size of the pixel sensor is often given in height and width, but also in the optical format.
