Is pixel binning good?

Pixel binning is a helpful feature that can improve the quality of images taken in low-light environments. However, pictures taken with pixel binning will not be as consistent as full-resolution images. Plus, it limits the number of megapixels in images and can mean that you're not getting the most out of your camera.

What is the purpose of pixel binning?

Pixel binning is a clocking scheme used to combine the charge collected by several adjacent CCD pixels, and is designed to reduce noise and improve the signal-to-noise ratio and frame rate of digital cameras.
