TA-t3 and qole both have it exactly right. Anyone who knows, knows that megapixels are ********. Especially with these shitty little cellphone sensors. More megapixels means neither higher quality nor a better sensor it means exactly this: more noise.

What you want to pay attention to is the quality of the optics, and the noise level of the sensor. So look at a sample picture before you make any snap decisions based on a meaningless metric.
