A normal cameras capture the image on film which then requires developing. A digital camera has a pad of little sensors that capture the light and send a signal to a little computer chip that translates the Information to a viewable image. The resolution is better with more little sensors that can be packed onto the pad. A 10 megabyte camera has more sensors than a 5 megabyte camera, thus more resolution
