With 12.6 million pixels, 12MP resolution has around 50% more pixels than 4K. 12MP is formatted in a 4:3 aspect ratio. This sets it apart from 4K and 1080p, which are both in the 16:9 aspect ratio. Note that while there are more pixels, the 12MP camera view will often be displayed on a lower resolution 4K monitor.


12MP camera modules are chosen for their balance between image quality and efficiency, making them valuable across a broad spectrum of applications. Their ability to capture detailed, high-resolution images is essential for industries and technologies that demand precision and clarity in imaging.
