The lower the CCD resolution the better your picture quality will be. You camcorder always has to take 30 frames per second, not like a camera that takes stills. Check a good professional digital camera and find out how many pictures it can take in continous shooting mode. (EOS-1Ds Mark II - 4 frames/sec!)
If you put more pixels into the same area then your pixels, your light sensitive are is getting smaller, one pixel receives less light. Less light is not good. Take a 1"x1" paper and draw a grid on it. One horizontal and one vertical. This will give you 4 sqares which is still good, tha paper is still white. But if you draw a 300x300 grid, then your paper will turn gray, you loose a lot of white surface.
The same applies to projectors: the lower your resolution the beter the picture is. If you incase your resolution then you incrase your grid size and this way blocking more light.
