What I would like to know is why does everyone go crazy for 8 or 10 MP point and shoot cameras?

The noise just gets worse with more MP on a tiny sensor and lets face it who really prints every picture let alone one or two at sizes bigger than A4?

Personally I would go for something in the 5/6MP range and spend the extra on features like a water resistant cam that has a steardy body and good seals, so it'll last longer. Olympus have got a really good cam in that regard and Fiji have just released that 'builders cam that is water proof and shock resistant from 1m. It's a bit bigger but if she doesn't mind that I think it's 7 MP too (if you really are concerned about that)...

Just my 2 cents!
