    If you need your images for print uses (not dye sub or inkjet, but offset) – the resolution definitely matters. If you enlarge a 6 MP image using photoshop to print on a an A4 you’ll see enlargement artifacts around slanted lines.

    Now – this is not relevant for most non-pro uses. What the article was trying to say IMO – if you’re a home user, better invest in better lenses, look at how much the camera compresses the image, how it handles lighting, etc and not so much at the resolution.
