I am looking to buy an affordable camera up to $150.
What is the difference between a 16 megapixel camera and a 14 megapixel camera?
1- Does it define the quality of the images?
2- If yes is it really noticeable?
3- Which one do you suggest for somebody who is not a professional photographer?
4- What brand do you suggest?
5- How much is a reasonable Zoom amount for a camera? (5x, 10x, etc)
Answer
1. no, megapixels only determine the size of the picture. Actually, with small compact cameras, the more megapixels you have, the better chance of degrading image quality. Its like packing a suitcase (kind of?) The less you have, the neater you can make it- the easier it is to find things, etc. Its just better. The more stuff you have, it suddenly becomes more cluttered, and the worse it becomes
2. -
3. Most people don't even need 6mp, 10 is best, 12 is fine, 14 is beginning to be too much (for compact cameras) 16 is just outrageously useless
4. Nikon, Canon, Fuji, Sony, Panasonic
5. I suggest AT LEAST 5x, unless you are getting a camera such as the Canon S95 ($400) which has 3.8x. Whatever you do, don't focus on digital zoom- it just degrades quality
as for the difference between 14mp and 16mp, its 2mp. It will just be a tad larger

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).
