Sony F828 has 8 mp. I only regret the lack of a wired or wireless shutter
7.1 MP

I purchased the Canon A620 7.1 MP recently. Amazon.com was selling it at a great price, at or slightly better than the 5 MP Canon I was looking at (maybe the A610) - $240 - at the time. So I guess the extra 2 megapixels are a bonus. I love the great image quality of the Canon, it's much better than my old, previous Kodak Easyshare 3.1 MP digicam, but then I'm aware that most cams today would be. I also use the macro feature of the cam, so the 4xoptical zoom is great.
Just like with most electronics (I have a number of mp3 players, and debates about features, etc. are the norm in this area), everyone's needs are different, and a 3,4, or 5 mp camera will work just as well for some as a 6, 7, 8 or higher mp cam works for others. On average, most typical camera consumers will consistently use about 25%-40% of the total features that P&S cameras come with. So the important thing is to determine what uses you will most likely utilize your camera for, and then try ot get the camera that best provides for those needs. If you do that, then you'll have the best camera for you.
Incidently, I realise that Canon has a new line of A-series cameras out now, with 8 and 10 megapixels. Also, I see on amazon.com that my A620 is now at $299, but the A610 is around $160. That's weird: my A620 was not at a special discount when I purchased it, AFAIK...you usually do not see electronics APPRECIATE in price over time, esp. when new updated versions have been released. I guess I got lucky, but that's weird!
8.4mp in my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1

I have just recently purchased a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 with 8.4 megapixels.
I think it is a good amount, because with many manufacturers boasting 10 or more mp, the lens is an important factor. On the LX1, you get excellent wide angle 28mm Leica lens with optical image stabilization, and combined with the native 16:9 sensor, it is a great camera. So great that Leica have put their badge on it and sell it as their brand (for a couple hundred pounds more though!).

3 - Nikon CoolPix 995 still takes great shots but at 81 the old hands aren't what they used to be and need something with anti shake ... any suggestions?
6.1 Olympus C60
by Jim Brunner - 9/6/06 10:50 AM In reply to: How many megapixels does your digital camera have? by Marc Bennett
I have had my camera for about six months and couldn't be happier with it, but I am considering upgrading to a slimmer, smaller Olympus. Until a great deal comes along I will continue with what I have. I have no idea why the digital zoom ''numbers'' are given, except to confuse and sell more cameras. Shame on them.
Olympus C60
by jyllcnet - 2/26/09 8:14 PM In reply to: 6.1 Olympus C60 by Jim BrunnerHi! I still have this model in my keepings. I am happy with this for now, it's still working at it's best. However, I have one comment - it does not print the date on the photos. For memories sake. How do I set it up automatically? Please help me!

I bought a Canon SD500 with 7 Megapixels. I think that it is awesome. Take superb pictures and with out having to fuss with all the gadgets.
5MP Pentax Optio S5n
by beyondallken - 9/6/06 2:15 PM In reply to: How many megapixels does your digital camera have? by Marc Bennett
Very convenient compact size - small enough to be just about always with me.
Every previous camera spent a great part of its life under the car seat or inside my back pack, and not hung around my neck!
Quality and features great for a point & shoot enthusiast like me, and when hiking it is clipped on the harness where it is instantly available. In a 'social' environment it is often in my shirt pocket.

I have 2 digital cams an Olympus D520Z 2 MP and a Kodak EasyShare Z650 6.1 MP with 10x Optical Zoom. Both are good cameras. The Olympus is a point and shoot while the Kodak has many more features and takes GREAT photos.

6 megapixils and 10 power optical zoom
by walsh84 - 9/6/06 3:23 PM In reply to: How many megapixels does your digital camera have? by Marc Bennett
I have my camera set to prohibit digal zooming. I can add an additional optical lens extension if I want more power. BUT, with 6 or more meg. there are times when the type of shot I'm taking isn't using all the digital capacity anyway, so I might as well use it to extend the zoom for a particular shot where getting closer is extremely important. This is especially true where I don't expect to make a large print so the available pixils are enough to make a clear shot. Also, a good graphics program can go far in improving the result where pixils were used.

I own an Olympus D-360L which is an older modle. I get great 4x6 pictures with it. Snap Fish and Wal-Mart sites don't recomend printing larger pictures with my small files. But I print 8x10 on my HP photosmart printer that look good to me.
