The difference you will see will not be in the number of pixels (against, say than that from a 3Megapixel camera) your eyes DO see a sharper portayal of the image with higher range SLR's. This is where a higher resolution camera is better, but also bear in mind that the eyes will also see more physical artifacts from things like dust in the air etc... some particles in the shooting range are usually too small for the human eye to see. This is where the lens comes into use as a magnifier. a good photographer will usually add an unsharp mask to a digital image to enhance artifacts more; resulting in more work in the photo software. Unless of course, the studio is a vaccum space with no living thing in the air. I reckon technology and the progression of our evolution depends on us being able to see more. :) The human eyes see between 72 and 35o dots per square inch, this can be shown as pixels… so, when the eyes see 200 pixels per inch, we see a precise image (taken, for example by 8Megapixel camera).

It was a good purchase in terms of bang for the buck. I always wondered why other people's higher MP cameras were turning out soft/blurry shots, even with the camera held still, but my Fuji turns out sharp, crisp images with good colour and I haven't seen any purple flange or whatever it's called as I've seen with the other brands. A lot of my friends use low end, but high MP! *laugh*, brands like Sony "Cybershot" and Kodak. I can't stand to look at those pictures as the colour is way off. Kodak accentuates the reds (hue is was off) while Sony is just too soft. My friends brag about the MP and think that's everything there is to a quality camera. Some laugh at the fact I have a 2MP camera...a lowly camera to them, but let me share some of my images with you sometime. See for yourself before you buy into the "high megapixels = better" myth. Mostly high MP only means bigger size prints, NOT better quality. I’m very happy with my Fuji FinePix A202, a 2MP camera. It was a good purchase in terms of bang for the buck.

Check out my website. I have a standard 3.2 megapixel cam and it works like a charm. I'll be getting a Canon eos 30d very soon but for now i'm MORE than happy with my Canon Powershot A70 Amen to this!
