You can name expensive one. Money isn't a problem. Thanks!
Answer
Hasselblad H4D-200MS. 50 megapixels! It's on special for $31k, body only. Lenses start around $2500, and average about $5000. It's a lot of camera to lug about, weighing in at 5.4 pounds. Lenses will add a few more pounds.
If you want something more pocket sized, the Leica S2 series is $23k to $28k. 37 megapixels. Expect to pay about $5000, and up, for lenses. The S2 gets rave reviews.
Then, there's the toy cameras like the Nikon D4 which is only $6000. 16 megapixels. Lenses are anywhere from $100 to $10k.
If number of pixels are a driving factor, then Nikon D800 for $2800. 36 megapixels. The D4 will give better quality images, but the D800 sure has a lot of pixels.

High Megapixel Cameras?
inquisitiv
i'm planning to buy a 14.1 MG camera from Canon. what is the negative and positive sides to high megapixeled cameras?
it's a small camera. just a regular digital camera with high MG.
Answer
Canon don't make a 14.1MP camera...but you may be talking about the recently announced ultra compact SD990 IS ( Ixus 980 IS) or the G10, instead (they both have 14.7MP).
Small cameras have small sensors and the SD990 IS and G10 have the same sized small sensor (1/1.7"). The main disadvantage of high MP on a small sensor is lots of noise.
But, they do feature Canon's latest Digic IV processor, so you really should wait until they have been released, tested and reviewed before you come to any sort of conclusion.
A 14.1MP camera will produce large image file sizes, so you need to make sure you use a fairly high capacity card and have plenty of hard drive space. For general use a 4GB SDHC card would suffice (high speed...something like Sandisk Extreme III).
But, what you really have to ask yourself is...do I REALLY need 14MP?
