@ranjoeri the lens is responsible for zoom. the megamixels is the sensor which is actually part of the camera. you can buy a huge lens just for zooming far.

@olddeuteronomy a 16 magapixel 1ds mark II is better than say an 18 magapixel 7d because the 1ds is full frame, which means cleaner pixels.... right? im not a pro at this and i dont even own a dslr right now but thats what ive heard ahaha

21 mp is especially useful if you're doing photojournalism, nature shots, sports, etc. If you're just doing portraits or family pictures, you don't need to crop so extensively.

Canon's new rebel has 18 mp for under $1000, that's good enough for me.
