At OpticsPlanet.com we offer full range of  Bushnell, Meade, Celestron, and Naxos digital binoculars models ranging from  0.35 mega pixel digital camera optical resolution to 3 Megapixels Digital interpolated resolution.  When people shop for digital cameras and digital binoculars cameras, they always try to look for larger Mega Pixels - the number that defines digital camera resolution.  While binocular camera resolution parameter is important, we want you to make a smart decision buying a digital binoculars camera - you need to know what you pay extra for if you go for a higher resolution digital camera binoculars, or why you decided to save money, and go for lower QVGA resolution digital binoculars camera. MegaPixels (MP) resolution tells you maximum number of dots, in millions that a digital camera can make up the image in.  Most digital camera binoculars capture images on a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) sensor. The camera's resolution is calculated by multiplying the maximum number of pixels along the length and width of the CCD sensor. Modern digital binoculars typically capture between 350 thousands and 2 million pixels per image, and also have a setting to lower effective resolution of the built-in digital camera.

Optical resolution vs. interpolated resolution -  many consumers are confused when they see cameras that are listed at more than one resolution. When you review and compare digital binoculars cameras, often binocular camera resolution listed as optical or interpolated.  A digital binocular camera with two megapixels of optical resolution in CCD will use two megapixels of information to represent an image, while the same digital binoculars camera can be tweaked to have three megapixels of interpolated resolution - the latest 2-megapixel Meade and Celestron digital binoculars cameras do just that to become high-resolution 3 megapixel digital camera binoculars. This is normally done through interpolation software which through specific image algorithms guesses what a digital image would look like at a higher resolution and then inserts pixels between the ones already representing the photo. Modern image software can increase picture quality, but will reduce the sharpness as up to one third of the pixels can be the pixels that the algorithm has decided to insert. Images with a highly interpolated resolution might often look blurred when enlarged. When buying a digital binocular camera from anyone remember that it is the optical resolution, not the interpolated resolution gives you a true measure of a digital camera sharpness and resolution. 

Please note that image pixel resolution is still an important parameter in selecting your digital camera binoculars for many reasons. Not only will higher pixel resolution result in greater detail, but it also dictates what size prints you can get before your digital photos appear jagged. For example, here are suggested MINIMUM image pixel resolutions to ensure high-quality paper prints:
