I'm sure that the size of the MP, is only relevant if you want to print it out on a large scale.

If your only taking holiday snaps, and are going to print them to the normal snap size, then is there really any point in getting a new camera?

I believe manufacturers use different types of batteries for different types of cameras. The point and shoot these days often tend to be as slim as possible so the only way to power the device is through a chewing gum type battery. The down side of that is when you run out of charge you need to spend 2 hrs or more to recharge.

I use a fujifilm bridge camera (s8000fd) which consumes 4 x AA's at 2700mah, Im not suggesting you buy one of these, but you need to consider how many pictures you take, and if it's more than the amount you can take with one charge you may need to look into AA powered.

And with 12mp you need to have a big memory card (sdhc), if you're printing standard photos in 6" format then 12mp is an overkill.
And more MP doesn't mean you get more light, you need more light for the pictures to become clear. If you have a high mp camera and wish to take moving images without flash, or long distance shots you need a camera that has under 8mp.

or u could always keep an eye out for good deals and maybe save a little money b4 jumpin in and buying...

when am out and about i always take my Sony A100 (dslr) with me.... and now currys are selling it for £299 with the 18-70mm lens... battery is good for about 600 pics on a full charge and i've not found any issues with it yet!

Other than that i used fuji cams before the sony one and never had any issues with them!

If you have the money Sony N2 is good.

Otherwise try www.trustedreview.com as they have quite a few 12mp reviews.

I once had years ago a very old Sony P93 5 mega pixel camera which took amazing photos. Now just a year ago i had a Panasonic 6 mega pixel FX01 and picture quality on the Panasonic was poor compared to the Sony which had one million pixels less. I have found Carl Ziess lenses to be very sharp. Even though i said Samsung cameras are good the ones with lithium batteries the cheap ones which take AA batteries are very poor for battery life. They barely last a few hours just like their mobile phones. Lol. I would say the average now is 6 mega pixel if you go high like 9 or 12 mega pixel but the camera is cheap then picture quality may suffer. I forgot to mention Fuji yesterday they are fantastic and their cameras are the best for low light photograpy. But anyway we still gotta look for cheap for you.

So u lot think I should hangon to my 6MP Casio Ex-Z60 then? Is there much difference between a 6 and 10MP anyway?

There is only much difference between them if you want to print massive prints like poster size. I never notice the difference on a pc screen except perhaps when you zoom into see detail on the picture maybe. It really takes a trained eye to notice and im quite fussy im happy with my Sony N1 8 mega pixel but i still see no difference with the pictures it takes and a 6 mega pixel camera. Its obviously up to you perhaps save your money if your camera is still in good condition and working well hang onto it as its probably not worth wasting your money unless you really want it.
