Megapixels are digital photography's equivalent to horsepower and torque in cars and trucks, and watts for stereo amplifiers. Taken as a raw number, it doesn't tell you a hell of a lot about how a camera, car or stereo performs, absent other information WRT the item in question. But, since "bigger is better", more MPs, horsepower, watts must be good, right? cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
