The simple answer is 345 million separate pixels or 115 million full color pixels. To understand which is the right answer for you, it helps to understand the difference between a scanner and a digital camera.

The Bookeye 3 is a true scanner and not a digital camera. It scans the material from left to right. When scanning a book, it follows the curve of the book. Its sensor width is 7,600 pixels, with a separate sensor for each color: red, green and blue, totaling 22,800 pixels. In one 600dpi sweep, it scans about 15,000 pixel rows for a total of about 345 million pixels or 115 million composite pixels.

In contrast, a 12 megapixel camera has only 3 million full color pixels. Each color pixel contains one red pixel, 1 blue pixel and 2 green pixels (our eyes are most sensitive to green). When capturing black and white objects, its resolution is 12 megapixels, but when capturing full color objects, it pieces together a resolution of about 7 megapixels, a little over halfway between 3 and 12 megapixels.

What is exposure in a digital camera?

Exposure is the combination of shutter speed and aperture used to expose the image sensor in a digital camera. When the image sensor receives the right amount of light, your picture comes out correctly exposed. The camera's light meter determines how big to open the aperture (the hole to allow light in) and for how long (the shutter speed). If the image sensor receives less light than it requires, your picture comes out under-exposed. If the image sensor receives more light than it requires, your picture comes out over-exposed.
