[QUOTE="Bumpin_Ack, post: 645408, member: 551371"] Do you really understand megapixels, or do you just know more mp=more memory/better quality. Megapixels really don't impact quality at all, just the actual size of the picture. What that can do to enhance quality, however, is say i take a picture witha 3.2mp and print it at its native resolution. Now say i take a picture with a 5mp camera and shrink it to the same size as the 3mp camera. Almost always the second one will yield better pictures (in my opinon) With that said, what is most important to you? Quality should be no 1, with size no2. If that is the case i'd suggest the canon s410 (or s500 if you want more mp) I owned a nikon 3100 and the picture quality was mediocre when there was ample lighting, and horrible indoors/dark. I sold it and bought a canon A75. Its amazing, the pictures are beautiful (i have some samples if you want to see, no more comparisons however, since my hd crashed.) It has great manual controls and i got it for a good price ($150 no rebates from circuit city). Only complaint is size, its a little bigger than my nikon. The s410 pretty much has the same controls and its pictures are just ast beautiful (it has to do with the lenses that canon uses) Check out [URL="http://www.steves-digicams.com/hardware_reviews.html"]http://www.steves-digicams.com/hardware_reviews.html[/URL] to get some good knowledgeble reviews [/QUOTE]
