I had a 5MP camera and it broke. It just stopped working for no reason.
So I started using a Photoclip 5 in 1 that I had years ago and shelved. It is fantastic. The photos are very very good quality and I am surprised - even when I am not using the full size pics.
How can this be so? Surely 5MP pics must be better, or is it the build quality of the camera?
Answer
Are you viewing these on your PC? If so than that would be the main reason. Resolutions beyond a MP or two generally only make a difference in print.
More than that though, and despite what the camera makers would have you believe, megapixels definitely aren't everything. The quality of the lens plays a big part as well. While it sounds a bit counterproductive for a camera maker to stick a sensor with higher resolution than the glass in front of it could resolve in the first place, this often the case. Detail destroying "noise" is another factor. Ironically as you increase the number of pixels, as a rule this also goes up. On many recent compact digitals it has gotten to the point where this noise is so severe that at best it completely cancels out any resolution benefit these cameras would otherwise have had!

How much difference in photo quality is there between a VGA (640x480) vs. a 1.3 megapixel camera phone?

For instance the Nokia 6103 vs. the Samsung SGH-D807
Answer
The difference in your example is in resolution (how many pixels are created), which is not the whole story on quality.
VGA = 640x480 = 307,200 pixels
1.3 MP = 1300x1000 =1,300,000 pixels
So the 1.3 MP phone is about 4 times more resolution than VGA. That will let you view and print bigger images than VGA without getting fuzzy. The pictures will look bigger on a computer screen.
But there is much more to quality than just size. The lens, the focusing mechanism, the color processing, etc., all contribute to whether you get a clear, naturally colored picture.
Even at 1.3 MP you will not get very good prints at the normal sizes. Most good digicams are at least 3 MP.
Good Luck
