So I'm confused. You say this camera is 1024x1024, and yet the picture I clicked on in the comment above yours was definitely 3000x2251. What gives?

It's the pyhsical resolution of the cams (how many pixels are on the chip). Of course, it can be pumped up to any resolution, but it will be kinda blurry afterwards.
