i read an article about hasselblad hd2-39 which has a 39 MP sensor...all these days i thought 10MP was the highest... are there other cameras better than 39MP
Answer
39 Megapixel is the biggest I've seen so far.
The camera you seek is a hasselblad H2D-39.
You can find it on www.bhphotovideo.com
It's only $30,000 so what are you waiting for?

What is a good amount of megapixels for a point and shoot digital camera? I just want a camera with good clear shots that I can take with me on vacation.
Answer
MP are not a measure of image quality, but only of image size.
The image quality comes from the skill of the photographer, the quality of the lens, and of the precision of the measurements of each individual pixel. DSLRs use much, much bigger sensors than point and shoot cameras, so each pixel on them gathers much more light than a pixel on a P&S camera. Hence it has more light to work with and thus can take more accurate measurements.
E.g. the Nikon D3s costs $5300 yet it "only" has 12MP and is considered to be one of the finest cameras ever made - but it's 12MP on a huge full frame sensor that gathers lots of light and thus is highly accurate. If the world's best professional sports photographers (who mostly use this camera due to its crazy autofocus system and ability to freeze motion with high ISO) can do with 12MP, what does Joe Average need more for?
In P&S cameras, more MP actually are bad for image quality, as camera manufacturers cram as many pixel into the sensor as they anyhow can, neglecting the quality of each pixel in the process - because they know that showing off with insane MP figures will make people buy the camera, because they mistakenly believe that more MP are always better. That used to be so when cameras only had like 1-2MP, but not anymore. For example, a full HD screen can display only 2MP, any more than that is wasted on it! More MP only becomes relevant for large prints and for cropping, but 10-12MP generally is plenty.
Other P&S cameras that are marketed as compact sidekick cameras for experienced photographers keep the MPs down, e.g. the 10MP Canon S95. It will wipe the floor with any 16MP P&S camera.
