dudeeeee... camera is not about megapixels as marketing brochures will tell u

even SE Satio's 12 megapixel cant beat my old 3megapixel canon IXUS. no way

if u want a camera, get the T90. the size of a phone makes it physically impossible for a cameraphone to match any dedicated camera. the lens and sensor is too small. megapixel is just marketing

While I agree that some manufacturers (especially camera phone) are trying to mislead buyers by promoting solely the megapixels, we still can't deny the importance of it on a larger sensors.

Example:
- 3MP picture taken with a decent old-skool camera may look nice on screen, or 4R print but definitely not anything larger
- High megapixel photos (given that it is taken with a decent DSLR camera) allows more possibility of cropping

It doesn't make sense for small sensor cameras to have overly high MP (it will look bad anyway), but full frame DSLR like EOS 5D Mark II can totally unleash its sensor potential by delivering a good 21.1 Megapixels. For casual DSLR photographers, the standard 8-12 megapixels should be more than sufficient

The newer PEN E-PL1 should be a good choice. E-P1 is also good but maybe slightly over your RM2500 budget
