You can buy some piece of crap camera on bay with 12mp for about £15 but a good quality 3mp camera would blow it away.
The new iPhone records video in HD and has a 5 mp camera, unless you want to blow pictures up to poster size I'm sure it'll be a decent camera. I'd bet a pound to a pinch of shit it'll be better than other 5mp camera phones out there but people will always just look at the headline numbers!
Exactly. Once you go over 3mp, the pixel count has little bearing on quality.
