How many megapixels do I need?

Reviews For any images you plan to print or retouch, we recommend you stick to 3-megapixel resolution and higher; Web- and email-only photos should be fine at resolutions below that. For prints A4 or larger, look for digicams with 4-megapixel resolution or...

Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1200 review

Reviews The headline feature of the Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1200 is its image resolution of 12 megapixels. The amount of data in each photo also means that you can be ruthless with the crop tool, as there's enough detail in the image to cut unwanted areas...

Pentax Optio A40 review

Reviews The Pentax Optio A40 is at the top end of the company's Optio range, boasting 12 megapixels and a £185 price tag. The Casio Exilim EX-Z1200 looks sharper and includes more features with the same number of megapixels, while the Canon Digital IXUS 90...

Kodak EasyShare V1253 review

Reviews The V1253's 16:9 HD view looks great on its wide-screen LCD, but remember that images at this aspect ratio are cropped from full resolution: 9 or 2.1 megapixels. One of the slimmer and simpler competitors, the Kodak EasyShare V1253, not only maxes...

BenQ DC E1000 review

Reviews The DC E1000 boasts 10 megapixels and packs plenty of features, while still clocking in at a reasonable price. If you absolutely must have 10 megapixels, then for about £50 more, the Pentax Optio A30 is another straightforward snapper.

Fujifilm FinePix F60fd review

Reviews For your £170, you get a bump to 12-megapixels and a variety of tweaks to the settings. Twelve megapixels is probably a bit high to really banish noise from high-ISO shots, but it still performs well with a sensor that's slightly larger than...

Casio Exilim Pro EX-FH20 preview

Reviews The F1 bucked the megapixels trend with a resolution of 6 million pixels, and fortunately Casio has also resisted the urge to cram the FH20's 1/2.33-inch CMOS sensor with too many photosites. It still clocks in at a reasonable 9.1-megapixels.

Casio Exilim EX-S10 review

Reviews It's so pocketable we thought there must be some serious compromises in the specs and feature set, especially with as high a resolution as 10 megapixels crammed into this svelte frame. Up until roughly the 4-minute mark, the high-speed burst...

Creative Live Cam Optia AF review

Reviews The larger size nets you a larger sensor, from 1.3 megapixels on the laptop cam to 2.0 megapixels on the Live Cam Optia AF. The Creative Live Cam Optia AF, priced around £50, is the ideal webcam if you are looking to shoot objects other than...

Canon Digital IXUS 70 review

Reviews Resolution has been bumped up to 7.1 megapixels from the Digital IXUS 60's 6 megapixels, but despite an almost identical controls layout (though different cosmetic design), Canon made a few changes on the inside.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 review

Reviews Among these are an increased pixel count of 7.1 megapixels (up from 6 megapixels), the number of autofocus points has been bumped up to 11 (instead of 9), and TIFF capture has been replaced with raw capture, which should please advanced shooters...

Canon Digital IXUS 950 IS review

Reviews For the most part, the Digital IXUS 950 IS turned in a performance that is equal to, or faster than, that of the 800 IS, despite the increase in megapixels. The main differences between the two include a jump up to 8.3 megapixels (from 6.2...

HP Photosmart M437 review

Reviews Besides the smaller screen (51mm to the M537's 64mm) and lower resolution (5 megapixels to the M537's 6 megapixels), the M437 perfectly mirrors its marginally more advanced brother. With one of the smallest price tags of all the major digital...
