I am using a 5 MP Canon Digital camera.

It is set to the highest resolution 2592×1194 and Superfine mode.

When I retrieve the pictures into Photoshop, the size of the photo is approximately 11"x14".

On an older 4MP camera I have, the images are 23"x31".

Why is this happening? Shouldn’t the 5MP pictures be a larger size?

Thanks.

Image size, inside a digital camera, cannot be measured in inches.

How big, in inches, is your camera? How can such a big image fit inside such a small camera?

More usefully, and less sarcastically, image size should be specified in pixels until you print:
