5MP is generally is a waste. There is more to getting good photos than just pure pixel count. People just like to brag that their cameras have a 5MP camera whether it makes that big a visual difference over a 3.2 MP camera or not. It's that "Mine is bigger than yours" syndrome. As you said, if you really want decent pictures go buy a pro camera instead.
