Pixels - How many are enough?
If you always plan to compose your pictures perfectly, you don't need a whole lot of pixels. If you want to allow for cropping, which means enlarging only a portion of your image, the more pixels the better.
Imagine taking a scenic view and then noticing that the middle 20% of the photo would make an even better picture. Suppose you take a picture of a whole group of people and Aunt Clara really, really looks great in the picture, but everyone else looks lousy. If you have the pixels to work with, you can still make a decent print of Aunt Clara that she would be happy to have.
If you buy an 8-to-10 MP camera and don't want to TAKE large photos, you can always set the camera to a lower file size. You can never go the other direction, though. Unless the cost is a major issue, buy the camera with more pixels. You will never be sorry that you did, but you might one day be sorry that you didn't.

Megapixels are 1 million pixels or the dots which make up your photo. As the other person said a 6 megapixel camera can take photos which have upto 6 million pixels. The more the pixels in a photo, the clearer it is, the more you can zoom into it (after taking the picture), and the more you can enlarge it. Though for everyday use you would not need more than 3 megapixels, they have come up with cameras with many more megapixels so now any camera with less than 5 megapixels just doesn't look good. So if you dont care and arent very into gadgets, go for anywhere between 3-5 megapixels and if you do care how others look upon you and your camera go for a 5 or 6 megapixel one. And if youre a professional go for an even higher one

A megapixel equals one million pixels. If you were to get a 6 megapixel camera, it would put 6 million dots per square inch of your photo. Those dots is what creates your photo. The higher the pixel, the clearer the photo. Kodak EasyShare is a good little digital camera.
