Multimedia, AV Geeks.com, the popular computer parts store, sent us in the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX150 14 megapixel digicam for a spin. This camera has been a hit in the past year, both for its still capabilities, but also for its 720p HD video at 24 fps (film speed).

You tell that to the thousands of sports and action photographers who used the Canon EOS1D (4mp) for several years, doing magazine shoots, poster shoots etc.

5mp is enough for most people, at least ordinary people - it'll do nice A4 prints, unless you're doing very heavy cropping, then it's not so good. 8mp is a better balance for the average pro photographer. 12mp is about as much as you'd want to go with a FF (full frame) sensor imho - it's about the right balance in terms of pixel size, noise performance, dynamic range etc. That's why the Nikon D3 has been such a huge hit - large pixels, plenty of resolution, awesome noise performance. ISO 6400 is very much usable now.
