5000000ppi= 5 megapixels?

Kenji

are they relatively meaning the same thing?

Answer
Pixels per inch

-------------
Dot pitch
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_pitch
Pixels per inch - 101.6
Megapixel - 4.09

Pixels per inch - 203.2
Megapixel - 9.21
-----------------
The number of pixels in an image is sometimes called the resolution, though resolution has a more specific definition. Pixel counts can be expressed as a single number, as in a "three-megapixel" digital camera, which has a nominal three million pixels, or as a pair of numbers, as in a "640 by 480 display", which has 640 pixels from side to side and 480 from top to bottom (as in a VGA display), and therefore has a total number of 640 Ã 480 = 307,200 pixels or 0.3 megapixels.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel
A megapixel is 1 million pixels, and is a term used not only for the number of pixels in an image, but also to express the number of image sensor elements of digital cameras or the number of display elements of digital displays. For example, a camera with an array of 2048Ã1536 sensor elements is commonly said to have "3.1 megapixels" (2048 Ã 1536 = 3,145,728).

red lily

I want a good camera and good photos (who dosen't ??) and I hope not too costly , I dont think I would like a digital camera coz I already have a sony handycam . Please help me out .

Answer
First you have to decide what is your intended usage for the camera.

If you have professional intentions you need to go in for a DSLR, then decide upon the model and brand.

If you just want it for fun and clicking family pictures, go for any normal digital camera that's about 10-12 megapixels. Nearly all companies have similar features, give or take a few.

Either way you will have to buy a digital camera only - film cameras are passe.

Remember a video camera's primary job is to take videos, so it'll never be too good in still photo results. The same also works vice versa for a still camera.

You can choose from various companies models like Sony, Nikon, Canon which are market leaders.

Cheaper versions would be available in companies like Minolta, Olympus etc.

You can even buy a camera online. It works out quite well for most people.

Canon vs Nikon DSLR Cameras?

Answer
Definitely Nikon D3100, it is a better option i'd say. You haven't really mentioned your usage etc so cant really tell much but if one has too chose between the two than no doubt Nikon wins. I suggest you read this review to know exactly why:
