Because i need to buy a new dslr but the 21.1 MP dslr i want but its 3000 dollars, and people say that camera sucks. and i've seen 12.2 megapixel cameras that cost way more than a 16 megapixel camera would. I want to get a camera with good picture quality but don't want it to lack in other aspects.

A lot of Mp's mean you can crop heavily and still keep enough pixels for a decent print or you can print large with quality, prints measured in feet rather than Inches. But the high Mp count sensors can record finer detail.
The downside is that cramming lots of pixels into a small sensor also increases noise and lowers the Dynamic Range which is the number of tones from the darkest dark to the brightest highlight the camera can record before the dark tones block out to black and the highlights burn out to white, pixels that are black or white carry no data.
Sensors are getting better all the time, currently every year sees improvements, there is always an advantage in getting a camera with the newer sensor (which tends to rule out any Canon). There are high Mp APS sized sensors that still have a wide Dynamic Range and low noise, low noise shows itself in low light photography with less noise in images taken in low light. The Sony sensor in the Nikon D7000 and the Pentax K5 use is a revolutionary Sony sensor which is much better than anything that has gone before.

Does more megapixels equal better looking photographs?
Q. Can you get good photographs with a 6, 7, or 8 megapixel camera? Or do you need a 10-12 megapixel camera do get good quality pictures?
Answer
Megapixels is only the image size. Not the image quality. A large crappy photo is still a crappy photo.
