I was looking at higher resolution cams myself.

I still have two Canon A-1 bodies and a number of lenses that I use when I want very good pictures (or when travelling). The Dimage X is for the occasional web/email pic, birthday party and what not.

There is a very good GERMAN web page that has test pictures of a number of cameras. The files are obviously huge.

Look here for test pictures.

There may be an english language site of similar content, but you really don't need to understand any german to use this one.

The problem I had when I was shopping around was optimizing between

Resulution (Megapixels)
Price
Build quality
Optical quality (i.e. optical Zoom factor etc.)
Useability of the camera

I found the Dimage X the best compromise for my specific needs.

Also when you buy a higher resolution cam you need more memory to store the pictures. They usually come with very little memory that lets you store only 5-10 pictures. Find out what type of memory the camera uses and how much you want / need to upgrade before you buy.

Just a few thoughts
Please don't feel as if your information is not helpful. It is completely the opposite. You along with others are making me realize that I need more resolution in my shots. That is all. I appreciate all of the info you have given me. I am not a person that will buy without research and so I have come here. Your advice is great. If you have more, please let me here it.
