highest resolution cameras with 1/1.8" sensors

I recently had a Kodak EasyShare Z7590, it was also a great camera no problems ever but just got outdated at only 5.0 megapixels.

The level of detail is very high, but it's not that much better than a good 10 or 12 megapixel camera.

The L310W uses a 1/1.72-inch sensor, slightly larger than the 1/2.33-inch size used in most compacts, but even so squeezing nearly 14 million photocells in thee gives it a very high pixel density.

Optical Viewfinder - This is a rarity in this day and age, but I like to have this option when I really want to be discreet and not even have the viewfinder screen turn on.

At both ISO 1,250 and ISO 1,600, noise becomes very heavy and sharpness and shadow detail take a nose dive.

If you are looking for a super simple lightweight camera then this is the camera for you!

lens size usually has a direct impact on the amount of light hitting the sensor.

This camera ignores the axiom; and combines high pixel density and small sensor size.

Of course, due to the sensor size it's not quite up to a DSLR quality if you are looking for smaller details in distant shots, but it is still very good for a compact.
