Look for the features you want, not megapixels. Do you want more zoom than just 3X or 4X optical, Do you want a camera fully automatic or one where you can set shutter speed and aperture. There are point and shoots out there with an image stabilizer for shaky hands. 5 or 6 megapixels is fine, the more megapixels does not always mean a better photo. My daughter's 5 megapixel Fuji takes excellent 8X10 prints. There are 7 megapixel camera that don't do as well. Maybe you want a tiny camera. So certain things you should consider. Depending on the model, excellent point and shoot cameras come from Fuji, Sony, Nikon, and Canon.

How many megapixels does a digital camera have to have in order to match the quality of a 35mm camera?

Question by mypaintings1212: How many megapixels does a digital camera have to have in order to match the quality of a 35mm camera?
I've read in an article that it would take 14 megapixels in order for a digital camera to match a 35mm. in terms of picture image quality. Also is 35mm the "Holy Grail" of image quality in a photograph? Are there new technologies that could surpass the image quality of a 35mm camera?

4 megapixels is plenty. The human eye can't tell the difference unless you either plan to:

1) print huge, poster-sized copies of the photos, or
2) zoom way, way in using software.

In fact the more megapixels you get, not only does the price of the camera go up, but fewer pictures fit on your memory card.

4 megapixels is more than enough for 95% of us.

check lenses (i suggest carl zeiss or any nikon) and blur reduction. also make sure it has all the features you'd be interested in. personally, i like nikon best, but have used canons and they are not a disappointment.
