more the megapixels,,,,more better the picture--is it really so??????/

yes..you can get fine photos in the high megapixel cameras..my cellphone camera is 1.5mp..if i take the photos in my cellphone it is not good compare with our digital camera..digital camera is 10mp...one of my brother having 7mp digital camera..its picture not that much good like our digital camera..have a nice tme

The only place you are going to find 2 megapixel cameras these days is in a phone. And in a phone, the tiny sensor and compromised lens guarantee that your pictures won't be worth printng above 6x4 anyway. To print a decent A4 or 10x8 you need to think about 4 megapixels, and 5 to get A3 prints. If you only want to look at pictures on the camera or phone, it hardly matters; on a monitor or TV screen only 72 dots-per-inch (dpi) is neededd for a "nice" image, which is no problem for small megapixel images. But to print, you need 300 dpi and that needs more megapixels. So higher megapixles make better images...up to a point. When pixels are packed too closely together, interference generated between them (mostly electrical) generates "noise", which degrades the image. On a phone camera we see sensors up to 10 megapixels; on comapacts up to about 15 megapixels, on digital SLRs over 20 megapixels. The higher the Megapixel count, the more computer processing has to be applied in-camera to control noise, and this usually softens the image: in many cases the images are not so crisp as those from smaller pixel cameras. There are many trade-offs but the size of the sensor, the characteristics of the lens, shake resistence, the camera's general optical and electronic performance all contribute image sharpness, not just the number of pixels on the sensor.

I'd say no. With more megapixels, your larger prints will look nicer. But if you're only printing 4x6s, you won't notice the difference. If you had to choose between a nice 2 megapixel and a crappy 5 megapixel camera, and you were only printing 4x6s, go with the 2 megapixel. I used to have a Nikon CoolPix 800 and that was only 2 megapixels, but very high quality back in its day. The photos it took came out better than the film photos of my parent's wedding. It's still great quality for a 2 megapixel camera and beats a lot of other cameras out there now.

na i think that technology is ok, but photography is a art, every one cant have it, butindeed the better mega pixels and lens used, the clear is the picture
