...whole story. Lens quality, image-processing capability and even the size of the pixels can all have a greater effect on how your pictures turn out. "The number of megapixels," says Bob Sobol, an image scientist at Hewlett-Packard, "is relatively unimportant." What the quantity of megapixels (each one equals 1 million pixels) does determine is how big you should make your prints.
