The CCD can store only 380,000 pixels, or individual picture elements, the tiny dots that form an image. A normal 35-mm photograph contains 18 million pixels. Canon is working on the problem, however, and rival Eastman Kodak says it has already developed a chip that can store up to 1.4 million pixels...
