Lee (Highiron) makes a good point about the potential use of the images you capture. You can get away with the low end (even less than 1MP) camera if you are only posting your pictures on line or emailing images to friends. Even a 3MP camera will make decent 4x6 prints, especially when done by the store, rather than on your printer at home. But when you get up to the 4+MP cameras, you are looking at images that are really too huge (either file size, or actual dimensions in pixels) to show on a screen anyway. So then you are downgrading your images to email or post, which defeats the whole purpose of getting the 4+MP resolution in the first place. Many of the pictures I put online, I have shot with my "old" Epson camera at the 640x480 setting. At 30 - 40KB each, they are just right for super fast uploading and emailing to people who will only ever see them on screen. Andrew
