What people should learn is that the size of the sensor is what matters not the megapixel count...
An APS-C 6 megapixel sensor will be leagues better than a 10 megapixel little finger nail size sensor... and an APS-H or full frame sensor would beat the crap out of the first two mentioned!, photosites size will determine the final quality of the final photo! also diffraction will damage you more with smaller photosites!!
In this XMAS don't fall in the trap of more megapixel compact cameras... if a compact camera has more megapixels it only means more noise, less details and problems with diffraction (when the aperture is stopped down)!!
