What megapixel is considered HD?

I was wondering if a 1.3 Megapixel is considered HD? I know 1.3 produces SXGA at 1280x1024. 720P is 1280 x 720.

I wouldn't confuse MP and HD at all, personally. "HDTV" defines a set of specific resolutions, frame/refresh rates and aspect ratios. "Megapixel" includes pretty much anything over 1,024,000 pixels.

 

Technically, 720p isn't megapixel (1280 * 720 = about 0.9MP), and 1080p is barely over 2MP (1920 * 1080).

1.3 Megapixel (1280x1024) is not a HD format.

 

HD formats are 720p and 1080p with an aspect ratio of 16:9.

 

Some what agree with Soundy, dont confuse Megapixel CCTV with HDTV.

Not to add more confusion, but 720P video cameras seem to have a 1.5 MP sensor and 1080P cameras tend to have a 2 MP sensor. I use a Flip Ultra HD, $159, works for me

U right

I have notice for while few Asian companies use 2 or 3 or even 5 MP sensor

but "output res" is much less

for example I am dealing with one company now

camera D1 but sensor inside 3 MP

They refuse to explain why

was told wait 3MP ver coming soon ....

 

 

by the way are u happy with Flip Ultra HD ?

would love to see few seconds HD samples clips

Thx

I have a Flip Mino HD and i love it. Mostly for videotaping my baby girl. Here is a sample. The quality is very good for such a low cost digital camcorder.
