Mega pixels are by far on e of the most important features of a digital camera. The higher the number of mega pixels, the higher the quality of your photos. Mega pixels can reach upwards of 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0 on the market right now. I have still seen some digital cameras with as little mega pixel as 1.6 still out on the market. For the most part a camera with a mega pixel of at least 3.0 will shoot very good quality photos. Choosing a camera with only 3.0 mega pixels is a great way to get into the digital camera world while saving a lot of money. About six years a go a 3.0 mega pixel camera cost me around $300. Today, you could buy a 3.0 mega pixel camera for under $100 easily. Personally, I suggest spending a few extra dollars and splurging for at least a 5.0 or 6.0 mega pixel camera. You don’t want to be too out of date with your new digital camera.
