to some extent the megapixel thing is a marketing strategy - the "consumer" must have as many megapixels as possible , or so the marketeers would have you believe. The reality is that any camera with more than about 8 megapixels will create huge files of say 9 megabytes if you set the camera to take full advantage of all the information it can capture ( ie more detailed picture). The you will find that you don't have enough on board memeory to hold the images and you may not even be able to email them - result? You then adjust the settings to create files of about 3meg, perfect for most people who don t enlarge pics above A5. Try looking the lense quality - Sony offer Carl Ziess, but Panaasonic iffer the superior Leica lense.and ccd size and quality. And expect to pay up to QR1800 for a decent camera.
If you're living life on the edge, you've got too much room.
