All this will do is mean you need bigger memory capacity/cards and given the fact that most people wouldn't notice the difference in anything over 3.2 once resized to something sensible (ie viewable on a screen or printed) whats the point?

the point is that when I transfer the pic to my pc and decide to print it out or blow it up, it will still be clear.

Blow up an 8 megapixel image? A 1024x768 monitor is not even 1 mega pixel so even a 2 megapixel image would be larger than your screen. As to printing it out a 3.2 megapixel image is the same quality as a film photograph printed out even when it is a 12x10 (inch) print.

As you can see every other post so far, apart from yours, agrees with me that more mega pixels is just a gimmick the trap people who think more is better.

Cropping. The more pixels the better. But bigger sensor and better lens matters too.
