Megapixels dont matter

Well, thats not entirely true, but they matter less than you think! Whats more important is the quality and size of the lens and CCD on the camera.

Wired has a great article on a subject some of you may already be experiencing!

Ftfa:

When shopping for a digicam, use 3 megapixels as a baseline for Web-friendly shots and up to 5 megapixels for making your own 8 x 10s. Keep in mind that the size of each pixel should trump their overall number. That's largely why digital single-lens-reflex cameras rule: They have comparatively gargantuan image sensors.
