You know? A few years ago when I was shopping for a camera, I was looking for the one with the most Megapixels, but then I found that more MP does not equal necessarily a better image quality, which is what I really wanted, so stuff like ISO capabilities and the lens that you use, are actually more important, now a days I also value a lot a camera that can take pictures quickly, there are moments that only give you like 5 secs or less to get the photo, anyway bottom line I agree with you, 12-16 MP is good enough
