As has been stated, the higher the megapixel (MP), the better the quality of the images. And also noted is the ability to get great depth of field, something that most point and shoot digital cameras cannot do. A friend who has a 2.2MP Kodak digital is looking at the new one with 4.0 MP, with many great features. But in checking it out I see that the lens will only close down to f:8, which will not give much of a depth of field. I had two point and shoot digital cameras, both by HP, the first one was 1.3MP, the second 3.3MP, but neither would allow the lens to close down for depth of field. Two weeks ago I broke down (and now am broke!) and bought a Canon Digital Rebel SLR camera. This 6.3MP camera will allow the lens to stop down to f:22 for almost limitless depth of field. I've been using Canon cameras for decades, and my other five autofocus lenses will work with this new one. Love it! My only "problem" was that my older Canon 430EZ fla***hat works fine with my EOS film cameras (Elan IIe & Elan 7e) will not work at all with the Digital Rebel. So I had to buy a 420EX flash for the camera. Love the digitals, and haven't made much use of my film cameras for a while. Try it, you'll like it! Bob Boudreau Canada
