I already have a Camera that it says its 8 Megs but the clarity of the photos are not so sharp and details are missing. I would like to buy a camera that would do Auto/Manual functionalities as well as portrait , landscape ,sephia ,....etc Obviously resultion (no of pixels ) is the wrong charactersitic in a camera that I should be looking for. Q1: what should I be looking for ? Q2: this camera http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=63292802 says "It features a High quality 5.36MP Panasonic Sensor, which always gives crisp, detailed photos and Megxons modern Interpolation allows the camera to take photos at a MASSIVE 10 Megapixel resolution." which is the effective resolution the 5.3 or 10 ? Do you recommend buying No frill Cameras liek this ? or am I better off buying something like Canon or Nikon or ... that are more popular ? Cheers
