    with a lens the size of those on a normal compact camera, anything above 5mpx is pretty much pointless imo.

    haha my first camera was 3mpx.. but had "pro" mode where you could go up to 7!!!!! bearing in mind this was in 1999.. there was no such thing as a 7mpx sensor. I even tested it. Took the same photo with both of a deodorant can, and when you zoomed in, the detail level was still the same- just couldn't read the fine print
