well, resolution isn't everything.
all resolution will give you is larger pictures.
when you re-size them down to web format (8mp is like 2056x2000 or some shit pixels wide... f'in huge) it forces more pixels into 1 given spot. but ultimately, you're limited by your 600 dpi printer or whatever you plan to show them on... unless you have a really good photo printer.
the LENS is what gives you great pics. not the mega pixel.
a 3 mp PRO camera with a high qual lens will produce a better looking picture than an 8mp normal lense (like mine) at resonable 3mp sizes.
if you're just looking to get pics on the web, pretty much any point-and-shoot camera will be fine.
if you plan to print pictures, thats where you get into the quality loss.
