The lens--that's the most critical part.

You want a manufacturer with a good reputation for "glass"--reviews are generally available online. Generally, a company that's produced photographic equipment for many years will give you a better shot at getting a decent lens.

The great misnomer. Megapixels is not the whole equation.

I have been told there are two other parts of this. Lens quality (glass versus plastic, manufacturer etc.) and CCD. The size and quality of the CCD is almost just as important. The CCD's in phones are small and not very HQ. One of the reasons that Cameras on Cell phones are not up to the job.

I have bought no name cameras with a decent megapixel count and gotten lousy pictures. Not clear, don't enlarge well etc.

Again the megapixel count is a great selling number but when it comes to quality not the final answer.

Yeah, but how many megapixels does it have? That's all I want to know.
