>>67551 Megapixels have very little to do with image quality. Once you hit somewhere in the range 5-7, the only real advantage is if you do heavy cropping. The sensor and the lens are the two main factors affecting image quality. If I understand correctly, Kodak point and shoots are known for having great sensors but shitty lenses, which does no good except to highlight how shitty the lens is. It's like having 20/20 vision and trying to see clearly through the bottom of a cup. (I might be wrong, though, don't depend just on me re: Kodak's quality. That's what I've read one or two places.)
Look around dpreview.com, especially the buying guide feature. That should point you in whateve the right direction for you is.
