To reiterate, having more megapixels provides you with MUCH more flexibility when you are editing with Print Shop, Photo Now, Picture It, Adobe's PhotoDeluxe, etc, etc.

With three megapixels, after your download the picture to your PC, you can crop and enlarge just one portion of the photo, say a close up of your childrens' faces, the wheels on your Pcar, etc, size the picture to 3x5 and still print out a good image. Thus, you are eliminating say 50 percent of the unwanted, needless background. THEN, you can still save the image to jpeg at a lessor quality, providing a smaller file size, e.g., 35 to 50 kb, for posting on Pelican Parts.

If you do the same thing with a 1,5 or 2.0 megapixel camera, the resultant picture is fuzzy! More data means more flexibility for manipulating pictures.
