Preaching to the choir here but honestly, anything over 2 megapixels is a waste unless you're going to be printing in large format. The Mars Rovers both have 1 megapixel cameras (behind some stupendously expensive optics) and if you take a look at the raw, unshrunken images from NASA, they scale up to desktop background size flawlessly.
