10 MP

Well, actually, it's 10.2 million photodetectors, "which are organized in 3 layers within the sensor to form 3.54 million full-color pixels." But this will still kick the butt of any 4-6 MP camera using standard technology.

Indeed, images from Foveon's Foveon X3 Pro 10M image sensor approach medium format (roughly 56mm film) in the quality of their results, even when enlarged to 40 inches.</font>
