Megapixels, shmegapixels.

There are always bigger and better cameras out there, but most manufactures are marketing the 2.2 or so range. Unless you will be printing 8x10 photos, don't bother buying up in megapixels.

You need to decide if you will be posting pictures online or will you be printing. That will make a difference in the resolution you use.

My last suggestion is make sure it is USB compatible.


I just bought a Sony MVC-CD200. Great 2.2 megapixel camera. It records onto a 3" CD-RW, which is compatible with most computers. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a view finder.
