I am not a pro in using camera but i know alil. B4 u rush into buying cameras, do some research first. Check for review. Megapixels IS NOT the main factor for u to buy the camera but other aspects like the shutter speed and the lens quality. Check the specs. Some shop will offer u a larger capacity memory card. MY recommandation will be Sony T-100 but it's priced at RM 1699 at retail price. A good camera shud not be heavy, when u take a picture it refreshes fast so that u can take another picture, no red eye, has anti shake and so on.

Hope it will give u some idea.
