Which device can achieve higher maximum megapixel images according to the material?

• A. Smartphones
• B. Digital cameras
• C. Polaroid cameras
• D. Camcorders

Answer: (B)

Megapixel count reflects how many pixels a device can capture in a still image, and the key factor is the camera’s sensor design and size. Digital cameras are built specifically for high-resolution photographs, using larger sensors and more advanced imaging hardware, which lets them reach higher maximum megapixel counts. Polaroid cameras rely on instant film with fixed, lower resolution, so their maximum megapixels are limited by the film. Camcorders focus on recording video, so their still-image resolution isn’t typically as high as dedicated still cameras. While smartphones have improved a lot, the material indicates that, overall, digital cameras can achieve the highest maximum megapixels.
