A megapixel is one million pixels. A pixel is a picture element. Like graphics displayed on a television or computer monitor, digital photos are made from millions of tiny colored dots, or pixels. The more pixels used to produce a photo, the less "grainy" it will appear and the better any enlargements made from it will be.
A 6-megapixel camera can produce standard 4 x 6 photos at a remarkable 500 pixels per inch and 8 x 10 photos at 273 ppi.
A megapixel (MP) is 1 million pixels, and is a term used not only for the number of pixels in an image, but also to express the number of image sensor elements of digital cameras or the number of display elements of digital displays.
The worlds largest megapixel camera holds the record for having 160 migapixels. The price for this beauty is 42,300 Swiss Francs (28,800 Euro) (39447 USD) for the Seitz 6x17 Digital.
Its sister, the Roundshot D3 is more complex and is 43,700 Swiss Francs (29,750 Euro) (40753 USD)
Anyway a camera that you might buy could have up to 12 megapixels. This may cost about $1000, though prices vary very considerably. You are not only paying for resolution but many other features. There are plenty of 8 megapixel cameras for a couple of hundred dollars, and 8 megapixels is a lot.
Also the amount of megapixels a camera may have will increase with time.
There is now a camera that is 12MP for £70/$135 approx.
it depend on your use. 3-5 is fine for 4x5 prints and computer/web. a 6 mp camera is good up to 8x10 priints. 10 mp gives room for cropping and somewat larger prints. above the 12-14 range is for weinies with more money than brains and pros that need to crop and still have large prints
Unless you are going to make prints larger than 8 x 10" 6 MP is sufficient for just about any purpose. For technical reasons, you may actually get better images from a lower MP count, depending on the camera.
Megapixel count is largely a selling point, not a big deal in terms of Photography.
Mega pixel simply means the number of pixels the camera is able to capture. Mega = million. Pixel is short for Picture element. So, a camera that has a operating mega-pixel count of 14.2 has the ability to capture 14,200,000 pixels per picture.
Cameras with high mega-pixel counts usually have crisper, clearer, and cleaner pictures than cameras with a low mega-pixel count (say 4.2). Look for a camera around 10-13 mega-pixels, they are usually the cheapest with the highest quality pictures.
It is a tiny square, and lots of them make up a picture.

A megapixel (or mp) is one million pixels, which are tiny squares that make up the photograph. 8 megapixels and up is good quality for cameras these days.
This increases as new models are released. DSLRs are over 25MP. You really only need this many when printing over A2 photos. 10MP is plenty for up to A3. Cheers
I dont know. try find out
The first phone with a 10 mega pixel camera came out in 2006
the 4 mega pixel 1gb camera would have more space but the 6 mega pixel camera takes a better picture
How many pictures can a 4.0GB memory stick hold on a 12.0 mega pixel digital camera?
c905 and upcoming w995
About 350 in RAW about 500 in JPG if my calculations are correct.
0.3 Mega
the nokia 808 pureview has the highest mega pixel camera which is 41 mega pixel
Iphone 4s has an 8 mega pixel camera
In general, the higher the mega pixel rating, the better the camera. For example, a mobile phone which has a camera with a mega pixel rating of 5 will take much better pictures than a camera with a rating of 2 mp.
1.3

how good its camara
1GB MEMORY CARD CAN HOLD 150 TO 200 SNAP IN A 13.6 MEGA PIXEL CAMERA.
about 200 pics
the 4 mega pixel 1gb camera would have more space but the 6 mega pixel camera takes a better picture
For VGA normally uses 0.3 mega pixels
Yes, Kodak does make a 12.1 mega pixel camera. Its called the Kodak Easyshare V1233 12.1MP Digital Camera and it features among other things a 3x Optical Zoom.
