lkailburn: megapixel is not really a measure of quality of a camera. It is a measure of size, resolution. If all you'll be doing is internet pics and 4 x 6 prints a 2.0 - 3.0 is more than sufficient. All that higher resolution means for a camera is that [if set on highest resolution] one will be able to print latger and larger paper prints [lets say 8 x 10 or for like an 8.0 mp camera, 20 x 30] and maintain complete sharpness and focus. Whereas you attempt to print a 8 x 10 from a 1.3 mp camera, it will not come out. Hope that helps you. Megapixel does matter but it is overrated. Shop for quality not megapixel.
