It's amazing the ignorant comments here. The size of the sensor (CMOS or CCD) matters more than megapixels. I've seen images from the first mainstream digital Canon D30 (3mp) that were far and above anything these little barbie-cameras sporting 10mp. You can have a camera with lots of megapixels but the noise level with these cameras are crazy when the sensors get that small. No, a 5mp SLR camera wouldn't get pwned by a 10mp pointandshoot.
So, go ahead and believe the marketing hype. I have a high-mp pointandshoot and a 8mp digital SLR and for times when quality counts, I'll take my SLR any time. For pics of the kids on the go, I leave my SLR at home. Each has its place.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
