• Instead of film, a digital camera has an imaging sensor consisting of millions of pixels. To record an image, each pixel builds up a tiny charge of electricity in response to the light it "sees."
• A megapixel is the term used for a million pixels — and the more megapixels an imaging sensor has, the higher the camera's potential resolution.
• If you didn't have enough megapixels, you can’t get a high enough resolution for good photo prints.
• Most new cameras today offer 6 megapixels or more — ample resolution for small and larger print sizes, including 8" x 10" photos.

4. Zoom – lens magnification
For example :
a camera that has “3x optical zoom" Means that the lens itself is capable of magnifying an image three times its original size.
