Q. OK....I have a habit of taking pictures of everything. When it comes to people, I take pictures of them off guard. Meaning, off guard is always the best rather than posing. When it comes to nature and such, I take pictures of sunsets, trees, leaves, fire hydrants, basically anything. The odd ones always look nice and unique. Well, my camera was stolen long ago so I started taking pictures with my phone. My phone has 2.0 mega pixel, I know, not much....but it does take some *really* nice photos. I am going to buy a camera from someone, and I was wondering, just how good is 4.0 mega pixel digital cameras? the camera I am going to buy is a Kodak easyshare (not sure of exact model) and I was just wondering if I should go ahead and buy it. Here are two pictures of the camera-

OK, I know....my camera photos are not *that* good. I guess it all depends. I actually had to "get to know" my camera phone before taking good pictures. If I am not in proper lighting, or if I zoom, or if I put on the flash in the dark....the slightest mistake can turn into a horrible photo. So I guess 2.0 megapixel aint *that* good....it depends how you work it. Please let ,me know what you all think? thanks =)
JUST AN UPDATE:
I went and just bought the camera. I have to say, I am really pleased with it. The reason I did buy it is because I am only going to use it for outdoor wildlife, nature, etc. I will say that I am going to take the advice and invest in a 10 MP camera. I wonder how good that would be if a 2.0 and a 4.0 is acceptable. Thank you all for your answers, I wish I could give you all best answer. I gave everyone a thumbs up! :)
Thanks again!

A. You will only notice the difference if you enlarge the pics past 8x10. If you tend to view them on screen or print out 4x6 you will be just fine with the 4mp.
camera choice confusion?
Q. Hi. Il just give a brief overview of my issue...
Im aiming to travel next year from London to Auckland (no planes - the long way across europe, asia) and document my trip through photography, im having some confusion between which camera i should buy. Iv narrowed it down to either the Canon D5 mk2 or the Canon D7. I will only be taking the one body but i want to be able to capture all manor of shots but my main interest are landscape and wildlife/action. Iv read quite a few comparisons and am feeling a little overwhelmed. It seems that the two cameras are both suited individually for my needs. What would you recommend? Any advice on which lense i should invest in would also be appreciated. Thanks for your time
How come? I know the MK2 is FF which is better for the landscape but the D7 shoots nearly twice the fps. Could i substitue the FF and use a wide angle lense? Im an amateur hence the lack of knowledge. Thanks
Thought i should also add im about to start a photography course in order to understand the theory. Il have mucho fun putting it all to practise before i start on my journey.

A. Either camera will, in the right hands, produce good results. However, these are rather bulky cameras so you really should visit a camera store and handle both models. Think about carrying either of them for several hours a day.
So I'm going to suggest a different make and model of camera for you to consider - the Sony NEX-5R which has an APS-C sized sensor and is Wi-Fi capable. Here is a review/preview:
http://www.dpreview.com/previews/sony-alpha-nex-5r
At B&H - http://www.bhphotovideo.com - you can find the Sony NEX-5R with an 18-55mm zoom lens for $748.00 or you could buy the body for $598.00 and add the all-rounder 18-200mm zoom for an additional $848.00. A version with a 16-50mm zoom lens will be available on or about Jan. 23, 2013 and is shown for $798.00.
Regardless of what make and model of camera you decide to buy, you're going to have to devote time to read & study the Owner's Manual. You'll also need to learn about the main components of photography - Light, Composition, Exposure and Depth of Field. Contrary to popular belief, simply buying an expensive camera doesn't automatically mean you'll immediately begin making good pictures. Spend time at these sites:
