I fully agree. The emphasis on pixel size is way overblown for most users. For posting on the net or for viewing on your screen, 640x480 resolution (<1/3 megapixel) is entirely adequate. In fact, 640x480 should be considered the maximum resolution for posting on the net unless you 1) enjoy making others scroll all around to see your entire picture, 2) hate people with only dialup access and like to punish them or 3) want bragging rights about "bigger is better".

I have found that a 640x480 native picture will even print out quite well at 4x6. A 2 or 3 megapixel picture will print out very well at 8x10. Not many non-pros will print out bigger than 8x10 (or even have a printer that can do it). Unless you make a habit of looking at your prints with a magnifying glass, there is no real advantage for most to go bigger than 2 or 3 megapixel. The only advantage to bigger that I can see is if you want to crop and blow up the crop - in essence to increase your "effective" zoom capacity.

As far as brand - it's a chevy vs ford peeing contest. Features and "usability" are more important. Some of the cameras have such small buttons that people with relatively large hands have some difficulty using them.
