That is only true when comparing similar models/sizes of camera. My 6mp Canon S3IS takes better pictures than any pocket sized 10mp camera. The megapixels has more to do with the size of an image and how much you can crop it/enlarge it. It says nothing about how well the camera focuses, how it does in low light, close ups, etc. I got the biggest non-SLR (point and shoot) camera I could, with a BIG lens and a big flash. I LOVE it. I didn't want to learn how to use an SLR but I wanted high quality pictures. I've had it for a year now and I'm thrilled with it.
