Answer
2 megapixels isn't terrible high res, especially these days. I'm surprised you can find a camera with such poor resolution on the market these days.

Most smartphones (Android OS, Blackberry, iPhones, Nokia's line of phones, Windows Mobile) are pushing 5 megapixels in the mid-range, and I've seen 8 megapixel cams on some of the higher-end phones.

The real issue, though, isn't the resolution: how do you want to use the camera? If you're looking to use it for quick snapshots, it's fine. If you're looking to replace a normal camera, I'd suggest going for something with 5 megapixels.

what contributes more for a good picture clarity in a camera ? megapixels or lens ?

My friend tells me that his 5 megapixel mobile phone doesn't capture as clear pictures as a 3 megapixel Sony digital camera with good lenses......If it's true then....Please enlighten me on this........thank you

Answer
The lens, absolutely.

Consider it this way.
A coke can sized $1000 DSLR lens has a hard time to resolve 20MP on a sensor that is as big as a large coin.
Given this, would it be realistic to assume that a tiny, cheap plastic lens could resolve 5MP on a sensor as small as a pinhead? That's just a fourth of the resolution but a sensor that is about 1/50th of the size of a full frame DSLR. This means that that small, cheap lens would have to be made to a much higher degree of precision than the big, expensive, professional lens. That's not likely, is it?
