    My phone camera has a max resolution setting of 8000x6000 (48MP)

    Purchased on sale (black Friday) in Canada. Total payment was 360$CAD. $7.50 /MP

    Also have a 2k security camera I was gifted. Retail about 130. $30/MP

    Security camera can do night vision and full color night time.

    It isn’t the megapixels.

    It’s the sensors.

      And things like the optics, the amount of light that it received over how much time, how much post-processing was done (a LOT in the picture on the left)…

      Well yeah, that’s why this thread is about the dollar amount per megapixel as a general rating, not purely the total amount of megapixels
