We're redefining digital clarity with a 2.14-million-pixel CCD.
  The high resolution lens, high-speed, high-precision auto focus and advanced program auto exposure of the PDR-M5 ensure that images are received in pristine condition before being recorded in UXGA format (1600x1200 pixels). Recording is then done via a 1/2-inch 2.14 million-pixel charge coupled device (CCD). The result is a high level of expression and color reproduction with a sharpness and clarity comparable to that attained by conventional 35mm photography. SVGA format (800 x 600 pixels) is also available in order to allow the easy download of images for computers of use on the internet.

Compression settings to suit your needs.
Whether you choose to use UXGA or SVGA, the shoot can be further improved by choosing one of three compression settings. Normal for standard shooting requirements, Fine, in cases where the emphasis lies in image quality and Basic, for when quantity of shooting is more important.
