You're not getting "8.1 megapixels", you're getting 0.3 megapixels. The aperture is f5.4. For the purpose it was to be used (night time, on high zoom), you want a comparison camera with better optics and CCD, which at that distance, will show a difference. That difference can be used to determine real-vs artificial aspects of the object.
