Is there any way to increase the megapixels of your web cam, like with a program?

highest megapixel web camera image

Radicular

So can i increase my lame 0.3 megapixel camera to anything higher without actually getting a new cam? Are there any software/programs available for this?

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'm really hoping there is a way:(

Thanks a bunch!!!!

The megapixels of your webcam are set from the factory.

There are no programs that can enhance the megapixels your camera has to work with.

What are the significant features to look for in a digital camera?

I have a problem. My family bought a camera made by "OLYMPUS" that was 10mgp, 3x optical zoom, 24 shooting modes with a 2.5" LCD. But even if it's 10mgp, the image quality isn't that sharp all the time, unless it zooms really up close. Compared to my other friends, with cameras like 7 or 8 mgp, made by other brands, their image quality is a bit better. I was thinking of buying a 7.1 mgp camera made by "CANON"

What are the key features to help me look for a great digital camera with sharp image quality? Does the brand matter?
The canon camera is 3x and 4x optical zoom. Something like that. Is that alright?

You know the difference between a 160x320 pic and a 1200x1600 pic, right? Well, the more megapixels, the bigger the picture... Also, the more megapixels, the more expensive the optic chip and the more expensive the camera.

How many megapixels you need depends on what you want to use your pics for... If you want to make large high quality prints, the more megapixels the better... If you're only going to use it to put your pics on the web, 4 or 5 megapixels is excessive... For normal size prints, 7 or 8 megapixels is plenty.

Except! If you like to crop your pictures... That is cutting of the sides, to get a better composition for example... In that case, the more megapixels the better also counts...

What is most important is the quality of the optic chip, closely followed by the quality of the lens... Optical zoom is also very important if you want to use your zoom (and who doesn't?)... The more optical zoom, the bigger the lens, the more expensive the lens, or, the more optical zoom, the smaller the optical chip, the poorer the optical chip...

The better (and newer) the optical chip, the more features it has, like for instance face recognition that the latest chips have... It helps your camera set itself for the best possible shot in all kinds of conditions...

All this is pretty confusing and hard to figure out if you're not a pro... That's why it's good to read good reviews on camera's before you buy them...

Canon and Nikon have been pro-camera-brands for decades and are used by all the pro's... Their easy-to-use consumer camera's are excellent (I just bought a Canon PowerShot 570 IS myself yesterday)... You can't really go wrong with a Canon or a Nikon... Make VERY sure you get the latest model though, or get a VERY good price on an older model!

-edit-

well, the more the better, the better the more expensive... It's ok but not great, it all depends on how much you are willing to spend... Are you looking at an Ixus or a PowerShot? PowerShot would be the better choice if you want best quality and one with a Digic III chip is a better choice than a Digic II chip... It's the next generation... The more expensive ones have IS... Image Stabilization, that helps make sharp shots
