"Megapixels A megapixel (Mp) equals one million pixels. The term is
used in reference to the resolution of the digital camera. More

noticing blockiness on the picture. Megapixels aren't the be-all and
end-all though — the digital camera's lens quality, sensor quality and
sensor size play a big role in how sharp and colour-accurate your
pictures are". (Which? 2017)

Notice they don't bother to tell you why though, or the extent to which
these factors interact or matter.

They don't tell you how fuel injection works on a car report either.

It was designed as a consumer guide to buying a product. Not a magazine
for enthusiasts or hobbies. If you want the ins and outs of a camera,
there are plenty of specialist mags that will give you that information.
