Elecam Explorer S?

[tommm]

Hi

I have tried to ask this question from Elephone but they simply do not respond.

Can somebody tell me, the Elecam Explorer S shows in it's specifications that it has a 8mp sensor.
Then why is it advertised as being able to take it's 16mp stills?

Also. Is the Elecam Explorer S the latest Elecam action camera Elephone has released?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, Ele Explorer S has 8MP Sony IMX179 sensor inside. 16MP stills are upsized (interpolated).

Does interpolation like this produce as good a photo as a 16MP sensor?
What's the general consensus on that?
Thanks

What's the general consensus on that?

Interpolation = absolute evil
