thanks for your help

Answer
I would expect a 2 megapixel camera to be better than a 1.3 megapixel camera given that everything else was equal.
however both are quite small. megapixels refers to the size / capacity of the image sensor... 1.2 million pixels ro 2 million pixels.. each pixel senses light in one colour..

its not just the size of the sensor that counts. the quality of the lens (this affects the amount of light let into the lens) the quality of the image processing hardware inside the camera/phone.

as a general rule a bigger sensor should be better, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if you could get a better engineered camera with a smaller sensor that will out perform a cheap as chips 2 mp camera.

ultimately if 'all' you are doing is taking photos of your mates then it doesn't really matter. it will matter if say you are taking holiday photos of objects a long way away, or if you want to print those images onto some paper. they will however work fine on any screen

if you wanted 'photographs' then you would know already that a 5Mp camera is around the smallest sensor to take general purpose images (images that can be manipulated or tinkered with as required). %mp is the basic size that you can get good quality A4 (10" x 8") images printed on

but if you want 'snaps' ie images that refresh your memory of the things you or you mates dis say on holiday then any camera.. the one thats to hand.. is the right camera

my vga was better than my 1.3 megapixel camera???

Anunnaki

my vga camera on sharp gx15 was very good in quality compared to my new ericsson Z550i 1.3 megapixel camera. the new phone's pictures look very dirty full of dots everywhere even on the highest best quality. Can anybody tell me why this is? And also if picture quality does not depend on megapixels then how does a person determine which camera will be better?

Answer
Megapixel count determines the size of the photo and assures more colors. Hopefully more colors will lead to more realistic photos.

But a camera is also very dependent on the lens to produce breat photos. In fact, the lens is the more important part of the camera. In your case, it may not matter much because camera phones use cheap and tiny lenses.

For a digital camera, the third important element is the processing/cleaning engine. This is a firmware that cleans up the digital image to remove "noise" (i.e. grain, hot pixels or dots). The drawback in using a strong cleaning engine is that it reduces the details of the photo. I imagine that if you set your camera to the "highest" photo quality, the cleaning engine is almost switched off.

The problem with setting the camera to take the highest quality image is that it can be prone to a lot of noise. Try setting your phone to take medium or low quality and see if its comparable to the relatively low quality noiseless photo by your Sharp phone.

The number of megapixels assures a bigger photo, but the size and quality of the lens is more important, and nowadays, its a race for a better cleaning engine.

If you want good quality photos, you need a more expensive phone (or better yet, a real camera).

What is a 1.3 megapixel camera look like? (please help!)?

It should have been like this:

I have the Samsung Seek and my provider is the I-wireless.

Answer
a 1.3 mp sensor is like those found on cell phones or webcams.

The results you are getting are just about right for those cameras

The sample of what you want could be achieved using a 6 mp dSLR (like a Nikon D100 or D40) using a macro lens

It seems that you have unrealistic expectations of your tiny camera.

Most people who are shooting products for sale on the Internet, use at a minimum, a 8 mp P&S or as mentioned a 6 mp dSLR camera. When shooting jewelry, some kind of light tent is used as well to provide even lighting.
