Mega-pixels do not equate to the quality of the image.
More accurately, mega-pixels equate to the image size. The bigger the amount of mega-pixels, the bigger the image can come out to be. This does not, however, guarantee a great picture.
In fact, cellphone's built-in cameras "boast" about the amount of their mega-pixels. Sellers try and persuade consumers that the amount of mega-pixels equate to the image quality; do not be fooled, however. Although some cellphone's built-in cameras may be larger in their mega-pixel value compared to those of other digital cameras, this absolutely does not mean that the built-in camera's picture quality will be better than another digital camera.

How many megapixels is the iPod touch 4 camera?
I believe it is 5.0 megapixels, both cameras, and it shoots in HD.
What are the best cameras out at the moment?
This is a partially a matter of opinion, but I had to research this recently so I will dare to answer. Of course it depends what you mean by best. Best price? Best performance? Combination of the two? I will assume you mean best performance and quality, ignoring price, otherwise it becomes way too complicated. This is what I came up with as of this date January 19, 2008Best point and shoot small cameras: Nikon coolpix s700, 12.1 megapixels, Canon PowerShot SD870. 8 megapixels. Nikon coolpix p5100. 12.1 megapixels, Panasonic Lumix DMC-Tz3, 7.2 megapixels. Sony Cyber shot DSC-T200, 8.1 megapixels Best Advanced Amateur Cameras (does not have full sized professional sensor): Nikon D300, - best image quality of all, but the Sony A700 is the highest quality of build Sony A700 - but no live view - better built than the Nikon D300, but the Nikon takes slightly better pictures overall, however, both have their advantages Best Professional Digital camera: (full sized professional sensor) Nikon D3 - and it costs 3 times the price of the Nikon D300
What is the resolution of the Nintendo DSi's cameras?

What measure is a vectore quanity?
A vector quality is defined as a quality that is described completely by both a direction and a magnitude. Velocity describes what direction something is moving as well as the speed it is moving, which makes it a vector quality.
How is the 2D image quality on LG Cinema 3D TV?
2D image quality on 3D televisions is usually very similar to that of other televisions. It is the 3D quality that can let down a television. If you are planning on buying 3D television, make sure you experience several makes and models and in both 3D and 2D. Knowing which is your preferred model is a good investment of your time.
Best megapixels for a camera?
Now Samsung Pixon12 and Sony Ericsson Satio both have a 12MP cameras, see there specifications below
Which 3D TV gives better image quality -- LG or Samsung?
This is an argument that continues to battle on and on. Basically, Samsung is active shutter technology and each eye receives a 1080p image at a time. Meanwhile, LG developed a passive technology 3D TV where both eyes receive 540p image at the same time. Samsung does have impeccable quality, though, so make sure to research it all the way. Good luck!
Should I get the canon sureshot of the nikon coolpix?
Both are very good camera for the casual photo taker. I would pick the canon sureshot over the nikon coopix because of the image quality.
What does Vector and Bitmap mean?
Vector and bitmap are both image files. Bitmapped images are images that are stored on a pixel by pixel basis and because of this, when you enlarge the image it can appear blocky. A vector image is constructed from dots, lines, shapes, etc. Each part has a particular position within the image with it's own dimensions. Because vector images are constructed using images, they can be enlarged without loss of image quality. Vector images do not get the blocky appearance of an enlarged bitmap image.

How good is 5.0 megapixels for a camera?
My camera is 10 mega pixels. The higher amount of pixels the better value and quality the picture is. I assume that only 5 mega pixels is pretty low and the pictures that you take won't be as good quality as, say, 10 mega pixels. In the article "Digital Photography: How many Megapixels Do You Need?" (at http://www.naturesimage.com.au/page/77145/default.asp) the professional photographer Andrew Goodall says good pictures up to 8"x12" can be taken with a 5MP camera:- You can produce good, high quality prints up to 8x12 inch (20x30cm), and probably larger, with a five megapixel camera. This is not a compromise; I doubt you would see any improvement in print quality taking the same picture on a ten megapixel camera. Certainly you would see a difference if you enlarged the photo to poster size, but (as we have discussed), very few people reading this article are likely to do that. Please do not see these comments as negative. I would never suggest that anyone who has bought a more powerful camera has wasted their money. Your upmarket camera probably came with an extra feature or two that adds to the fun you can have with photography. And of course, it is nice to know you could make giant prints from your photos…even though we both know you possibly never will. The important thing is not how many megapixels the camera has, but how well-focussed and sharp the original photo was in the first place. A camera with more megapixels doesn't make you a better photographer: a poor 6"x4" will be an atrocious A4 size photo (Hint: focus on the eyelashes.)
