have you got a link

I'm sure that others will post the same, but just beware, mega pixels aren't the most important factor.
Essentially you can have an low quality picture made up of billions of dots and a high quality picture made up of less. The only thing that high mega pixels really guarantees is large picture size ie mega bytes.
I'm not trying to put a downer on this, or say that goodmans don't produce good cameras, just don't expect this camera to produce the same quality as a canon 5mp camera.

yeah I was just thinking that as the ISO is only 200 max, not great! How can you tell whether a camera will give high quality pics?
