	Megapixel Myths (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A megapixel display is a screen with a resolution of approximately 1150 pixels wide by 850 pixels high.
		Although the "megahertz" and "megabytes" goals are long obsolete, the megapixel standard for displays is still pretty good.
		This is because each pixel only captures information about a single color (note that in February 2002, a company introduced a new type of camera sensor that does not have this flaw).

	Megapixels
		The number of megapixels determines how many pixels (picture elements) a digital camera is able to capture in a photograph.
		It is a measure of how many dots make up an image and is roughly equivalent to the product of the maximum horizontal Resolution and the maximum vertical Resolution provided by the camera, divided by one million.
		If your camera does not have enough megapixels for the print size you want, the quality of the resulting image will be fuzzy because a lot of the detail will be lost.

		You can compute ``resolution'' from ``megapixels'', of course, but it's a gigantic pain in the ass (a megapain?) If a
		So with that camera, you can get an image that can't be printed larger than 6.8"x5" if you require 300dpi.
		It's a pain in the ass to get from megapixels to, well, anything, because finding factors of large numbers is hard.

	Counting
		The first five years or so of the digital camera horserace was dominated by a competition by manufacturers over who had the most megapixels.
		The biggest fallacy among photographers first entering the rapidly evolving world of digital imaging is that a megapixel is a megapixel.
		Keep in mind that the Canon EOS-1D, a 4.1 megapixel SLR, has pixels that are 12 times larger than the pixels on Canon's own 4MP consumer camera, the G2.

	Hardware Analysis - Olympus C8080 Wide Zoom, 8 megapixel goodness - Megapixels and more
		However many of the popular digital cameras sporting a 2 to 3 megapixel image sensor will do fine with 4 x 6 printouts, but when you want to blow up your photos they often lack the resolution to retain the image sharpness, something which wasn’t the case with most film cameras.
		It just so happens that 8 megapixel cameras have been introduced a few months ago by all major manufacturers so we were able to look at all of them.
		Many of the 8 megapixel cameras on sale today are based on a refresh of an older design; they for example use basically the same lens and body as previous generation 5 megapixel cameras and just update the image sensor.

	Megapixels \| DigicamGuides.com
		In cameras with interpolated megapixels, an additional pixel of information is created by the camera for every actual pixel captured by the camera's sensor.
		A digital camera that creates images with 2.0 megapixels is going to be enough to produce decent quality prints at 4 x 6, the most common print size for most photographs.
		With a 6.0 megapixel camera, you will also be able to take photos at 2.0 megapixels if you want to e-mail them to friends.

		For you, more megapixels means more versatility and more creativity.
		But with more megapixels you can make bigger prints.
		The number of megapixels is the best indicator of how big a print you can make or how much you can crop a picture.

	Determine how many megapixels you really need
		Investing in a camera with too many megapixels, on the other hand, is an unnecessary waste of money.
		In this megapixel category, expect to pay around $300 for a 5 megapixel camera and up to $1800 for an 8 megapixel SLR.
		Well, now you know roughly the number of megapixels you should be shooting for depending on your intended usage and budget for the camera.

		However, because the number of megapixels also has a direct effect on the price of the camera, most people also want to know how many megapixels they really need to get good quality prints without spending too much money on a camera.
		However, that being said, the megapixel count is still an important factor in choosing the right camera for you.
		Once they had determined what scanning resolution was a reasonable maximum for an average 35mm photo, they were able to determine the number of megapixels needed to match this resolution.

	Solution from PC Magazine: More Than Just Megapixels
		Pushing the old adage that more is better, most manufacturers market their newest digital cameras by touting how many more megapixels they have than previous or competing models.
		Megapixels are a measure of quantity (the amount of data captured), not quality.
		True, the heart of the system is the image sensor, with however many megapixels, but that's only part of the equation of how image quality is achieved.

		A 1.1 megapixel camera would actually be overkill for this need.
		This means you need 4,800 dpi wide (eight inches) x 6,000 dpi high (ten inches high), or a total of 28,800,000 pixels, 28.8 megapixels.
		That means that a 2.2 megapixel digital camera will be just right for your needs.

	Basics: A Shutterbug’s Guide to Meting Out the Megapixels
		Pixels (known as megapixels when you count them by the million) are picture elements, the tiny spots of data that make up a digital image.
		Digital cameras made for amateurs usually have between two and five megapixels, though cameras with eight megapixels or more will be available soon.
		For e-mail, an image size of 640 by 480 pixels (0.3 megapixel) is usually best: large enough to look sharp on a computer screen but small enough to upload or download quickly.

		Find a digital camera has been developed in response to requests for an easy way for people to find the digital camera that is right for them.
		If all you plan to do is store images on a computer, email them to family and friends or play them back on a television screen then a 2 megapixel camera will suffice in most cases.
		Memory cards will soon fill up, especially with cameras of three megapixels and upwards, so it is always worth considering trying to get a deal when you make your purchase that gives you an extra, larger card.

	TheTechLounge - Beyond Megapixels - Part I
		A photosite (one of the millions of receptors on a sensor that capture each pixel) on an APS sized sensor are larger than a photosite on a 2/3” sized sensor, and due to its larger size, it can capture light more easily.
		Again, the small, densely packed photosites of an 8 megapixel digicam suffer more from the amplification of sensitivity than their 6 megapixel counterparts.
		I would much, much rather own a 5 megapixel digicam with good resolution at high ISO sensitivities and tough shooting situations than an 8 megapixel camera with great resolution only in ideal situations.

	Film vs. Digital
		I'm not a film camera user, but I'm always intrigued when the question of how many megapixels does a digital camera need before it is "as good as film" is asked.
		Many photographers will perceive images from the current generation of high-end 6 megapixel cameras-- the Canon EOS D60 and the Nikon D100-- to be equal to 35mm.
		One way of getting the best of both worlds (no grain and high resolution) is to stitch digital images together...here are some of my own image galleries using this technique.
