VGA v/s megapixel

[Deathwatch]

Basically the more megapixels you have the greater detail you can get when enlarging the image however having a camera with a 10mp rating over one with 5mp doesn't necessarily mean you will get a better picture as this is also decided on the Lens and the CCD quality of the camera.

I prefer to go for a camera with a half decent lens that way the picture will be nice and clear and in focus (a lot of cheaper smaller pocket sized cameras have tiny lenses but boast 10mp but pic quality suffers).

If it is quality you want and money isn't an issue then a digital SLR camera is the way to go.
