“Printing super big pictures without pixelation is probably the main benefit in upping the megapixels in digital cameras. Unless you want a picture that is the size of a wall, you could print a perfect 8×10-inch picture with a 3 megapixel camera.
Having higher megapixels also means that each pixel is smaller, which often results in noise and specks. High megapixels can also contribute to issues in lighting and dynamic range. Another issue high megapixels pose is the reduction in storage capacity.
Olympus has indicated that the company will no longer focus so much on the megapixels and work on improving other characteristics such as color, dynamic range and better ISO range. It makes sense to focus on the features that will deliver a better picture quality rather than focus on needless things such as high megapixels. It really would be great if a manufacturer could develop a camera that takes perfect pictures regardless of user error.”
there you have it folks. you are set with a 7-10 MP, any higher than that would only benefit if the camera’s image sensor is 1/1.8” or bigger, paired with an excellent lens. Most p&s have a 1/2.3” sensor.
