I dont know how good the camera is, but no it doesn't always take 7.2MP shots, i think it only takes them when you use no digital zoom

 

[DCIScouts]

Yes, it only takes the 7.2 MP shots when you take the shot with no digital zoom and have the resolution on its highest setting. Although, this isn't really necessary unless you are going to be blowing up the image and/or cropping the image A LOT. And I mean by about 50%.

so that means it will still take 7.2mp pictures if i use the 3x optical?

 

[DCIScouts]

Yeah, the optical zoom on digital cameras just uses the lens on the camera. The digital zoom is the actual computer chip/processor just enlarging the pixels, hence the degradation from 7.2 MP to whatever... I'd recommend just shutting off the digital zoom completely if you don't want to use it.

 

[Bunchofstuff]

7.2 megapixels is high for a digital camera, you can use the digital zoom and prolly not even notice the difference with that camera

one picture is like 3mb.
