Megapixel?

whats the difference? 3? lol just kidding.. anyways, pixel are the small dots that make up any image.. the higher the pixel the clearer the picture is.. this is really good for shooting big images and depends on the purpose of the picture.. if you're planning on just uploading pictures online you don't really need a higher pixel coz the image is too small anyways.. you won't notice much.. there's a big difference if you'll be creating a poster and planning to print it out.. you will notice that even though the poster is big the picture is still clear.. compared to the lesser pixel if you blow it up it will become blurry.. you will also notice that when you downloaded from higher pixel the pictures are a lot bigger coz thats their purpose.. to shoot big picture with clarity.. :) one concrete example.. if you shooting a face.. the higher pixel you have the clearer capture of the picture you'll get.. you can see the pores and blackheads if there is on the higer pixel.. lol.. :) or if you shoot a scenery.. take a look at the background.. with higher pixel you can still see the farthest scene.. :)

u will get answer if u visit www.pixelshots.co.nr

If you are talking about a point and shoot camera there is very little difference. With a digital camera you have a sensor which contains a dot for collecting light and color. In a 10 mega pixel sensor you have 10,000,000 of these spixels and with the 7 mp you have 7,000,000 pixels. The problem is that the sensor size is the same but you are putting more pixels into the same area. You may get too much detail and you your photo will look grainy. If you have a good camera with 5 mp you will get better photos than if you have 10 mp with a poor lens or processor. More Mega Pixels done not necessarly mean better photos.

Digital cameras capture images as pixel elements, known as pixels. Simply put, a megapixel is equal to one million pixels. Digital images are made up of thousands of these tiny, tile-like picture elements. The more pixels, the higher the image resolution. Resolution relates primarily to print size and the amount of detail an image has when viewed on a computer monitor at 100%. The number of megapixels is only one aspect relating to the quality of a camera, or the actual quality of a photo it is capable of producing. Factors such as camera sensor and the optical quality of a lens play equally important roles. Therefore, the picture quality capability is measured in megapixels. For example, a 3.1 megapixel camera can take pictures with a resolution of 2048 x 1536, which equals 3,145,728 pixels. That is, the resulting image will be made up of 3.1 megapixels, or over three million dots. If you buy a digital camera with too few megapixels for your printing and editing needs, your photos will be degraded.

Like everyone said it has to do with the amount of Dots (pixels),but if you aren't blowing up a photo to anything bigger than a 8x10 you could get away with having a 7 megapixel camera, but if you are trying to make larger photos that are like 10x13 or bigger than you will want to get a 10+ megapixel camera.

10 megapixels is better then 7...but usually we cannot compare...as both lenses can differe.... A good lense will alwasy give u better quality then a poor or cheap lense... Cheers!

its to do with the picture quality. The lower the megapixels the poor the quality of picture you get.
