FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING TO BUY THEIR 1ST DIGITAL CAMERA OR TO PURCHASE AN ADDITIONAL DIGITAL CAMERA FOR THE HOME USE I WOULD SUGGEST TO GET A DIGITAL CAMERA THAT HAS EITHER A 3.2 MEGAPIXEL OR HIGHER RESOLUTION OF MEGAPIXELS.  I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ON NOT GETTING A DIGITAL CAMERA THAT IS LOWER THAT 3.2 MEGAPIXELS.  MEGAPIXELS MEAN HOW GOOD TO GREAT QUALITY OF THE PICTURE WILL TURN OUT.  LIKE  3.2 MEGAPIXEL MEANS THAT THERE ARE 3.2 MILLION EFFECTIVE PIXELS FOR PICTURE TAKING.  THE 3 TOP BRAND NAME OF DIGITAL CAMERA(S) THAT I WOULD SUGGEST THAT GIVES GREAT QUALITY DIGITAL PICTURES ARE CANNON, FUJIFILM, AND KODAK.  EVEN THOUGH THE CONSUMER IS SPENDING A LITTLE MORE FOR THE BRAND NAME DIGITAL CAMERA OF CANNON, FUJIFILM AND KODAK, IT IS WORTH IT FOR THE QUALITY OF DIGITAL PICTURES THAT TURN OUT.  ALSO WHEN BUYING A DIGITAL CAMERA IT IS RECOMMENDED TO BUY A CAMERA THAT HAS A 3.2 MEGAPIXEL OR HIGHER SO THAT YOU CAN GET AN OUTSTANDING PICTURE QUALITY UP TO POSTER SIZE DEPENDING ON WHEN DIGITAL CAMERA MEGAPIXEL AND WHAT BRAND NAME CAMERA THE COSUMER BUYES.
