How does the resolution of a 2.4 megapixal digital camera compare with a disposable camera?

Answer

Generally speaking, film has a much better resolution than digital cameras. In fact, if you were to compare good 35mm color film to the "megapixel" rating of digital cameras, film would rate in the area of 24 megapixels.

The problem is not with the resolution of the storage media (digital vs. film), but rather the abilities of the cameras themselves. A disposable camera is going to have a disposable lens in it. Lenses have a very big impact on the quality of your photos.

So, in short, the disposable camera might have a better resolution, but the digital camera will likely have sharper pictures.

Answer

The operative word here is disposable. Most of the 'disposables' on the market would be better if they were disposed of before taking pictures.
