Is 5MP equal to 4K?

No, 5MP (megapixels) is not equal to 4K. Here's why:

Resolution Breakdown:

1. 4K Resolution:

   • 4K resolution refers to a display or video resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (UHD 4K) or 4096 x 2160 pixels (DCI 4K).
   • This gives a total of approximately 8.3 megapixels. $$3840 \times 2160 = 8,294,400 \, \text{pixels} \approx 8.3 \, \text{MP}$$

2. 5MP Resolution:

   • 5 megapixels typically refers to an image resolution of 2560 x 1920 pixels (or some variation depending on aspect ratio).
   • This gives a total of 5 million pixels, or 5 MP. $$2560 \times 1920 = 4,915,200 \, \text{pixels} \approx 5 \, \text{MP}$$

Comparison:

• 4K Resolution: Approximately 8.3 MP (3840 x 2160 pixels).
• 5MP Resolution: 5 million pixels (2560 x 1920 pixels).

Summary:

• 4K resolution is a higher resolution than 5MP, as 4K has 8.3 megapixels, which is about 66% more resolution than 5MP.
• 5MP is a lower resolution compared to 4K, so it is not equivalent.

Thus, 5MP is not equal to 4K. 4K resolution refers to a video display resolution, while 5MP typically refers to the resolution of still images captured by a camera.
