[Gllug] Digital Cameras

>Why are cameras listed in terms of absolute number of pixels and not their

Because it's easier to sell to the general public, who are unaware
of things like aspect ratios and even struggle with resolutions like
1600x1200. All a Dixons salesdroid needs to know is that 3.2M pixels
is a better camera than 2.1M pixels. Not always true, of course, but
for the majority of cameras sold on the high street, it's close enough.
