To a certain extent, yes, because only a certain number of sensors can fit on a CCD chip. Should you have to choose between two differently sized CCD chips, each with the same number of sensors, then the smaller chip can be recommended. Usually, smaller size is an indication that the chip is newer. TruePic is the key to perfect digital photos. Photos taken with an analog camera have significantly more pixels and, as a result of the chemical exposure and development process, produce pictures that are characterised by very defined or flowing colour gradation.
Digital prints have fewer pixels.
When looked at closely with a magnifying glass, it can be seen that abrupt changes from one pixel to the next often cause contours to blur. In autumn 1999, a new technology called TruePic was introduced by Olympus. The picture data is then matched up with the neighbouring pixels. Employing the 3 D Cubic algorithm, these calculations, which can only be carried out by a super-fast Risc and an Olympus Asic processor, produce digital photos that show amazing sharpness and contrast as well as true colour and gradation. However, it will also be used in future models.
