It has the option for either 640x480 which is 0.3MP or 640x360 which is 0.2MP and is widescreen. I wouldn't suggest using this as a photo camera because it takes very grainy photos.

It shows the resolution under "Main Features." It's .68 Mpix (Megapixels), so it's not that great.

It doesn't say specifically. I purchased this camcorder about a week ago. If you take a picture of someone close, the quality is good. But the further away it is, it gets really grainy. I wouldn't buy it if picture image is important to you. Camcorder part is awesome.

Yes, the camcorder is compatible but the software with it is not. The instruction manual gives a link to a website on what to do if you have a Mac.

I haven't gotten a memory card yet, but with the 4GB of internal memory you can get about 55 minutes in HQ mode, 85 minutes in SP, or 175 minutes in LP mode. I hope this helps.
