Image by pvera via Flickr This is very true. With the current crop of digital cameras , megapixel count by itself doesn't mean much. What you really want to look into is what else can the camera do to help you take a better picture: How good is the lens ? Some Sony cameras have Sony lenses, while some have superior Carl Zeiss lenses. Can the camera offset vibrations from your hands? What about low-light performance? Will I need the flash simply because the sun isn't shining? How fast can it shoot? Will it work well when taking photos at a kiddie soccer game? Does it have some kind of scene identification mode? Most modern cameras can tell if you are trying to take a portrait, a backlit picture, etc. Can the camera shoot HD video ? If yes, which codecs? Will you need to recode the video before posting it online?
