Hm...good questions.

The key thing with megapixels is picture quality, IMO - and memory cards these days are pretty big on file size (we're probably into gigabytes now!).

I am having 5 Megapixel. But I am not contented because although I am already adjusting the brightness set up, it doesn´t have a perfect effect. I want to buy a new one. Which one is the best?

I'm quite happy with my 3.2 MP camera, although i'd say that you don't really need to go any higher than 5 - the difference in resolution beyond that is really difficult to differentiate between...

There was a survey recently that showed anything above 5 isn't really useful unless you make huge prints, they took photos with a 5, 8 and 13 megapixel cameras, and only a photography professor could sort them properly
