Megapixels
Of Zen and Computing has a good article on how megapixels equate to digital camera quality. The megapixel rating of a camera is an indication of how many photosensitive sensors it has for recording the image. More sensors should produce higher quality images, but that isn’t always the situation.
The short form – more megapixels does not equal better quality pictures. Lots of megapixels in a cheap camera can give you crappier pictures than less megapixels in a quality camera. The quality of a camera is a sum of all its parts – not just the pixel count.
For help in picking out a digital camera, check out DPReview.com and you can search for example photos of specific cameras at Flickr Camera Finder.
