I have some questions about Megapixel cameras.
Can you use a regular 1/3" or 1/2" camera lens on a megapixel camera?

mega pixel cameras use special higher grade lenses. Call your supplier.

But, yes, you can get away with a normal lens accepting some amount of degradation in detail. From my Arecont 3.1 MP with a standard but good quality 16mm lens:

As I understand the megapixels contain cmos camera sensors. Now would they be subject to damage/blinding by lasers or powerful flash lights?
Thanks for posting that shot, would it be possible for you to post more photos of that 3 megapixel camera with night time as well?

I had the same questions. After searching google found this:
* If your CCD imager is 1/3" you need 1/3" lens, but 1/2" and 2/3" will also fit!
* If your CCD imager is 1/2" you need 1/2" lens, but 2/3" will also fit!
* If your CCD imager is 2/3" you need 2/3" lens.
* Conclusion: you can use same or bigger lenses but not smaller ones.
