A: Not necessarily, unless you're cropping in tightly on images or making poster-size prints. More megapixels usually translates into more picture detail. But beyond 5, you're unlikely to see the difference, even with 8x10 prints. Our advice: a 5-megapixel camera should provide all the resolution an average person needs. For posters, get at least 7 megapixels.<br>

Switchback replies: All I can say is the the Long Suffering Mrs. Swithcback has a poster size making printer and an 8 MP camera. She has won Honor Mention in some photo contests with this combination. She has her own "dark room" set up in our house and is really into photography.<div class="AOLPromoFooter">
