Images taken by a digital camera are small which means that almost everyone will order a larger print size. If the original image in the camera is 4, that would mean there would not be a sharp image when enlarges and it would begin to look like a newspaper photo meaning that each pixel will be seen. Therefore most cameras are designed for 5 or more megapixels.

I was late for work this morning, because I got stuck in Zeno's paradox.

As harryvan so rightly pointed out, the number of pixels is not the only factor that defines image quality. The resolution is also important. Even if you have a 10 megapixel camera, if you take pictures at low resolution they won't look good.

There are many other parameters that are important to check when buying a digital camera
