According to Amazon, this camera has a sensor resolution of 14 megapixels. This is due to the Foveon X3 Sensor, which uses three layers of sensor pixels instead of a Bayer Matrix. Specifying this sensor as 4 Megapixels does not do it justice, since basically all Bayer Sensor Camera Manufacturers are lying about their effective resolution. If this is 4 MP, then the Nikon D7000 is 5 MP.
