Picture Size Question

I am using a 5 MP Canon Digital camera.
It is set to the highest resolution 2592x1194 and Superfine mode.
When I retrieve the pictures into Photoshop, the size of the photo is
approximately 11"x14".
On an older 4MP camera I have, the images are 23"x31".
Why is this happening? Shouldn't the 5MP pictures be a larger size?
Thanks.

Yes, but all those except pixels is resolution dependent. Images are a
certain number of pixels, regardless of resolution. What shows in New
Image is a convenience only.

Just a detail...
"There are no inches in Photoshop."
There are indeed inches (and centimeters) in Photoshop, alongside with
pixels. When you create a new image, you can choose to define the
picture size in pixels, centimeters, inches, and several other units of
measurement. Photoshop's rulers can also use several different units of
measurement.
About the original question: if you are looking at the picture size in
inches, and it looks smaller for the 5MP picture, check the Resolution
value (in pixels per inch or pixels per cm) in Edit > Image size.

Steve,
If you open Photoshop and go to Image/Image Size and uncheck "Resample
Image" you will find by varying the resolution number, you will increase or
decrease the printed size (document size) of the image - all without
changing the real image dimensions, the pixels.
The document size (print size) has to have a resolution supplied in
pixels/inch. 300 ppi is fine for high quality prints. For web viewing, 96
ppi or 72 ppi is fine.
Again, the size of all bitmapped images is in pixels, i.e. 2000x3000 px.
You can give a size in inches, but you have to add a pixels per inch to make
it meaningful.
This is an important, basic concept.
Hope this helps,
Dennis

No, they are not. There are no inches in Photoshop. Look at the pixel
dimensions. Depending on the resolution the pictures could be many
different values in "inches". The pixel numbers are constant.
