It is a nasty marketing trick. You have 1.3X MP camera and every pixel has three sub-pixels (red, green, blue). So the total amount of (sub)pixels is: 3 x 1.3X ~= 5MP.
Of cause 3 x1.3 is not 5MP and I am going to sleep because ....

Another trick is that the higher "resolution" - understand the size of image - is artificially increased using an interpolation.

If you need a real 5MP resolution you need a 5MP camera, not 1.3MP, there is no way, how to cheat it.

Hi!

As I said before, the last webcam I bought was useless it was not Linux fault.
I went to the Steren Shop and they changed it to me for another webcam, this time
the COM-105 one, wich uses other USB Driver and works perfectly with Cheese
by just plugging it.Â

The cam also works with my Windows 7 VM very well, but I have a New problem:

In the webcam features, it says the cam has a 5MP resolution interpolated, but in
the instructions it says the cam has a 1.3 MP Resolution, wich is really poor for what
I wanna do.

ÂHow can I reach that 5MP Resolution in Linux? ÂWhat does that mean?Â
ÂDoes this webcam can really record a 5MP Video? ÂHow can I do it?

Thanks!

P.S. No matter I use Cheese or the Webcam's recording software for Windows,
the resolution is very very poor :(

Thanks for your tips. I was reading the Webcam's box and it says it has "5MP resolution (interpolated)"
And in the webcam's instructions, it says it has "1.3MP Resolution (interpolated)" I believe I'm going to
complain at the store because, they are selling cameras mentioning one resolution in the box and other
completely different in the instructions.

That's no Fair.
