8mp or 10mp? Anonymous
There is about a $100 price increase from the Canon A630 to the A640.

The only difference is a 2 megapixel jump from 8 to 10.

Considering I more than likely will not be printing, is there any real reason to drop the extra cash? Will I regret not getting the A640?

Thanks.

if you aren't printing big semi poster size, working with it in photoshop then no, you most certainly do not need it. I have a 5 MP Canon A530 and the big pictures I take, photoshop, and print are more than enough resolution.

At higher megapixels, generally you will be able to make larger prints. However, if you're only going to print out 4x6 or even 8x10, I think that a 8 MP camera is fine. Also check the lens quality as well. Though they are similar in model, one model might have more distortions or aberration than the other. As for red-eye, I think they'd probably be on par with each other (which isn't necessarily a good thing).

well I was going to load you an example pic but /p/ is being highly retarded and will not load a 500kb pic after 5 tries.

a 6mp camera can print up to 10x15" at 200dpi (and with photoshops bicubic resizer can bump that up to 300dpi with absolutely no noticable loss in quality even when scrutinizing the pic)

There is absolutely no point in getting the 10MP since both the 8MP and 10MP have exact Colour Sensor chip...

So you're getting enlargements from the same base photo. Which essentially means qualitiy wise the 10MP maximum print will suffer.

could you explain that a bit more, by any chance?

Agreed, your statement isn't clear.

I'm guessing that the sensor is actually exactly the same, with a different algorithm being used to simulate more pixels.

I'd say go with the lower MP camera, not just because it's less expensive, but because all else being the same, you'll get less noise with a lower MP sensor.
