There are a number of common types of digital cameras: compact cameras, bridge cameras, mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras (MILC) and single lens reflex (SLR) cameras. Bridge cameras 'bridge the gap' between the low-end compact and high-end professional (SLR) cameras. Also MILCs populate this mid-segment by combining the larger sensors and interchangeable lenses of DSLRs with the live-preview viewing system of compact cameras.

Camera type

The number (in millions) of light-sensitive picture elements known as pixels actually used by the camera's image sensor (CCD) to record light, and which are reflected to the final number of recorded pixels stored on the memory card.

Megapixel (approx.)

A sensor is a convertor than measures a physical quality (light, temperature etc.) and displays this electronically on a device.

Sensor type

The technology used to remove dust and debris from the image sensor, such as through ultrasonic vibration (e.g., EOS integrated).

Resolution is the amount of detail held by an image. The  higher the resolution, the better (sharper) the image. The maximum image resolution produces the best image.
