>>85606 MF digital is primarily better because it has a larger sensor, not because it has more megapixels, than 35mm-scale full frame and APS-C digital.
Megapixels do affect resolution and image quality, but ultimately, they're the most minor concern, behind the lens, the sensor quality, the sensor size, and things like anti-alias filters and so on. (Those all are in no particular order.)
After six or so megapixels, one finds rapidly diminishing returns in image quality at regular print sizes. A five megapixel camera is certainly enough for almost any application. In fact, on a small-sensor camera like the Vivitar model in question, less megapixels (to a certain point) is an advantage, because large pixel counts push the limits of the sensor size and lead to more noise.
