> Looks like 5MP but saves as 3MP files.

OMG that's so refreshing. Just recently I've come across, both from garage sales, a "40MP" camera smartphone (Chinese brand-X) that actually has, probably, a 13MP class sensor in it and upscales, and a wildlife camera that does the same.

Waste a great deal of storage just to fool people into thinking they got a better camera, and then you have to downscale all that again to achieve something like pixel-level sharpness.
