The chip inside the camera will only record the maximum number of pixels its surface can handle - in this case 5.36 million pixels.

The camera software then takes this information and creates more pixels using the information from the surounding pixels to create a 10 mega pixel file.

Basically, the picture will not be sharper, it only contain more pixels generated from the original 5.36 million.

Bit of a con really.

You can do this with most image editing software on your PC/Mac.
