I'm finding it's not so much the number of megapixels you have as the optics you're focussing through. Invest in quality brands with good lenses and your pics will be better. Look for coated lenses with bigger diameters and stay with major maunfacturers. Of course more resolution allows for bigger prints without losing quality.
