Human eye is not digital. It is analogue and therefore has not pixel rate.

Pixels are the squares of information that a digital camera uses to make up the image. The human eye uses microscopic cells, some that register color and others black and white. The eye is also enhanced greatly by how your brain interprets the image it receives. The lens on your new camera is much better than the one on your eye, but your eye is smarter. Plus your eye functions in time, like a video, and your two eyes make a three dimensional image, unlike a photograph. A 5.2 mgpixel camera is really good for most images until you blow them up larger than 8 x 10, so I'm sure you'll be really happy with it.

That's an interesting question. The human eye varies in resolution. In the center of the visual field the resolution is about 1 minute of arc, but this high resolution area (the fovea) extends only over a half-degree of the visual field. That means it's about 1000 pixels. Then, the rest of the visual field, maybe 5000 square degrees, has a much reduced resolution of about 20 minutes of arc or 10 pixels per square degree. So your eye has approximately 0.05 megapixels, a hundred times less than your camera. The thing is, you build up a detailed picture in your brain by moving your eye around and applying the fovea to different parts of the picture.

There are about 120 million rod cells, and about 7 million cone cells in the human eye. Each of these is individually sensitive to light, but I think it is erroneous to say that makes the eye a 127 megapixel device. The plain fact is that the perception of vision and the digital capture of an image are fundamentally different problems, thus I don't know to make a good comparison. Suffice it to say that the eye is far superior to any current digital device.

Dear Mega pixel is the term used for digital equipments. Human eye is analogue and you cannot compare a digital eye with an analogue eye because analogue is alwayes superior. to know the reason post another question i'll answer you that.

Mega pixels is referring to the size of the image not how many colors a human can see. It is well known that humans can see about 16 million colors.

The eye is really more equivlent to a movie camera since we track movement with our eyes. I've seen approximations as high as 500 megapixels.

don't worry about that the camera will blow you away in quality
