What is considered a high resolution camera?

Megapixels (MP )are used to measure the resolution of photos taken with digital cameras. Therefore, the higher number of megapixels of a camera corresponds with a higher quality photo resolution. Typically, a digital camera with 16MP or higher is considered to be a high resolution camera. For the higher-end and more professional digital SLR cameras, 20MP or higher is considered to be a very high resolution camera.
