No it's not the pixels that give you quality it's the censor.

Trying to make sense of pixels and sensor sizes, looked at the box my camera came in and 5.1 megapixels is easily found but you have to look hard to find it has a 1/2.5" sensor.

I've got the same problem now with my new brownie. I used Adobe Photoshop (which I already had) for the 1st few and MS Paint for the later ones. Both seem to work fine.

MS Paint (usually supplied with PCs - open 'Programs - Accessories') will resize an image.
Open 'Paint' then when you've loaded your image, select 'Image' 'Resize' and you can experiment with percentages (if you keep vertical and horizontal identical the format will be preserved).

The Gadget Show did an experiment where they used a 1 meg pixel camera and showed the pic on a massive digital screen in a cinema. Hardly any deformation at all.

I taking some images of a couple of my 1:76 buses. Used my latest Camera a 12.1MP Samsung and was not that impressed, so charged up my old 8MP Samsung and got a much better result. For those I had the Camera on a 2MP setting. In Macro mode on the widescreen part of the zoom it was within about 6 inches of the models.

I have some photo editing programs (Photoshop is out of my price range). Main one is Serif Photoplus X4, though I have some older programs plus of course Paint.

I cropped an image with Photoplus and saved, saving a little space. What you see in the viewfinder may not quite match what you see on the image. Cropping can produce a better composition.

I suspect it is probably that I have the camera set to Super Fine quality, but saving in Paint (and other editors) can result in a reduction in size, though with a slight reduction in quality.

If the camera uploads in .bmp format (the two Samsungs I was using do not) then a change of format to .jpg will result in a good reduction in size.
