$10? you must live around drug addicts that needed a fix.

on a p/s camera, the sensor is only 1/1.8" (or 7.18 x 5.32 mm) which means packing 5mp into that space, the inherant noise from photo receptors being so close together makes it not really matter that it's 5mp cause you see noise when you blow it up.

the sensor in my camera are:
23.7 x 15.5 mm @ 4.1mp
and
23.7 x 15.5 mm @ 6.1mp

so at 4mp spread over 3x the area, you get a cleaner image.

anyhow, I would figure out what you want to do with the camera. typically, for magazine/CD art/web work I shoot at 2mp.
for important things with cropping 4mp.
for promo-shots, I shoot RAW and highest jpeg.
I rarely personally print things, but I have pushed 6mp to 20"x30" and it looked ok.
