Worth linking to; sixmegapixels explains why having a more than six megapixels on a compact digital camera is not just a bad idea, they actually produce lower quality (as in more digital noise lower quality) photos . (Via Daring Fireball.)

I don’t know about this. I have a Canon G9 “point & shoot”. It has 12.1 Megapixels (1/1.7â€? sensor) with and has RAW capabilities. The image sharpness and lack of noise are remarkable. Also, it has pro features like aperture priority, shutter speed priority and other features that you’d expect on a DSLR. Have a look at http://www.dpreview.com and at http://www.kenrockwell.com for more on the topic. To see my “noisy” +6 MP images go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/14486602@N08 and take a look at the 1st 9 photos.

Well Dude,
You might want to read up on the The Megapixel Myth then. http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm
Also… this series of articles from 2004 is titled “The Megapixel Myth” as well, I still find them to be useful.

On the eve of Photokina 2008, your references to 4 year old articles are obsolete. I’d bump your 6MP up to 10MP. Leica / Panasonic have some crazy new cameras that should be looked into.
