How Many Megapixels is Enough?

This holiday shopping season don't be fooled by those greedy, commission-driven salespeople trying to sell you that 10+ megapixel camera for hundreds of dollars if all you're wanting to do is take pictures of the family. According to David Pogue, you won't be able to tell the difference between a 5, an 8, or a 13 megapixel camera even when blown up to a 16x24 picture. In addition, buying a higher megapixel camera will require a larger storage card costing you more money for the camera and the card. Stick with a camera in your budget that will take the pictures you need to take. If you're looking for cameras that will take some great pictures, head over to Flickr's most-used cameras page compiled from their online photo sharing website.
