Googirl, wonder if you sell photos from gallery or just when people see them?

megapixels are important if you intend to do big prints of your photographs or going to upload them to some photo stock, otherwise 3mp is not that bad, I'm taking all my photos with 4mp for many years and previously I've used 2mp camera on which I've made my bestseller photo(I didn't actually upload any 4mp photos so maybe if I do people would buy them also, who knows

).
So my point is that it's not worth to worry about megapixel which currently become just marketing trick to lure customers, and in reality there are cameras with lower megapixels but better picture sharpness than higher megapixel cameras.
