Do megapixels really matter? This is perhaps one of the most common questions asked by photography enthusiasts. Professionals usually say that megapixels do matter to a certain extent. More pixel count means more details in the picture, which translates to better image quality. However, in reality, more pixels may not always mean better pictures. Even a 5 megapixel camera could out-compete its 12 megapixel counterpart, in terms of image quality. The quality depends on several other features like lens and sensor.
