You really dont need anything over 3megapixels, and ideally 3x optical zoom. Forget digital zoom, its a load of bollox. All digital zoom means, is when you zoom in like on a computer everything gets "pixelised" and looks blocky. So if you are going to get a camera I would recommend 3MP with 3x Optical zoom and at least 256MB memory card. I personally think any higher quality is a waste, unless you are going to be printing out pictures at A4 paper size.

I only use a 2MP camera and thats more than enough for me, because the resolution is at 1600x1200.

So my summary is, save your money on something not so high powered and get a decent medium one at 3MP and decent memory card. You will find most of the time when you buy a nice camera that the mrmory card is 16MB and you can take 10 photos.
