No, picture quality is only partially dependent on the pixel count. You also need to take the quality of the lens and the method for achieving the resolution into account. Some cameras achieve a 3.1 megapixel resolution by interpolation. The CCD might actually register a much lower resolution but the camera's processor "connects the dots" to get higher resolution. The programming that allows the camera to do this will also affect the picture quality. Some top end cameras may also have other useful bells and whistles such as automatic white balance, red-eye reduction, image stabilization and such that can improve the picture, too.
Don't forget (as I almost did) the "wetware" (that's the operator). You can hand a good camera to a poor photographer and, guess what: you'll get bad pictures.

Would all 10-megapixel cameras have the same picture quailty?
no they are not the same
Will a 9 megapixel compact camera and a 9 megapixel dslr give the same image quality?
well it depends what you mean on image quality. If you were to crop the picture a lot, or make it very large, the quality would be the same, but as for actual composition, a dslr may be better because there are more manual settings, usually the lenses are better than compact cameras and various other reasons.
Are 12 megapixel 15 megapixel 16 megapixel cameras the best value?
The megapixels do not have to do with the quality of the picture. The more megapixels your camera has, the larger you can print a picture. I'm not sure where the 'cutoff' numbers are, but I know that you can print an excellent 8x10 with a 7 MP camera ('cause i have one). I think with a 10MP you can print a 14x16...not sure tho. I tried to be more vague...but I figured you would rather have SOME answer, in case you are shopping.
What are the some of the top quality cameras, that come in the color pink?
The best digital camera I would think of that would be in pink would be thePowerShot ELPH 100 HS 12.1-Megapixel Digital Camera and it is only $109.99.
What is the difference between digital SLR cameras and bridge cameras?
A Digital SLR (D-SLR) has a removable lens and larger image sensor. That means that regardless of megapixel a D-SLR will take a better picture because the photo does not lose as much picture quality as it would in a Bridge or Point and Shoot camera. A D-SLR is faster and the time between taking photos is shorter. A Bridge camera will offer more zoom but less picture quality. A D-SLR can be upgraded with a different lens however to gain more zoom.
What does the picture in picture function of cameras do?
The picture in picture function on cameras is for when one would want to record a video as well as being able to take a picture. The picture in picture that one would find on a TV set, would allow one to watch 2 TV shows at once.
What size memory card is best for cameras over 8 megapixels?
For an 8 megapixel camera I would suggest a 2MB memory card,
What cameras perform the best when taking pictures for extreme sports?
High quality, professional cameras would be best for trying to capture extreme sports. Lenses that have fast shutter speeds often help in this area of picture taking.
How many megabytes is a 10 mega pixel?
the 14mp camera has 1.4 times better quality than the 10mp one
What is the quality of pictures from disposable cameras?
Generally speaking they aren't. The old addage of "you get what you pay for" applies with disposable cameras. They will, however, take pictures and produce results that are acceptable for many people.
What is the difference between the image size and view zoom?
Image size is the number of pixels your photo is - lets say you are comparing a 1 megapixel picture to a 7 megapixel picture. The 7 megapixel picture you could blow up to a poster and print it off - it wouldn't show all of the little squares or "pixels" your camera used to take it. The one megapixel would probably show all of the squares. Sort of like if you take a picture off the internet and try to stretch it out. It doesn't look that good. The more pixels on a camera - the better quality photo. Zoom is simply how far your camera can magnify an object far away. Usually it doesn't matter too much because if you have a camera that has a high number of pixels on it you can crop the picture of something you took far away and it will still be a high quality image. However if you don't plan on making too many posters of yourself anything around six or seven mega pixels will be just fine.
Is a camcorder that only has 0.3 mp still image very poor image quality?
Unfortunately yes. Technology progresses at such a rapid rate that the current standard still pixel picture on the low=end would be a minimum of 2.0 possibly even higher. For a comparison of quality most standard Smartphones such as the iPhone, blackberry and droid have a 1.3x megapixel or (mp) camera standard in some cases even more then that. Cameras are usually a minimum of 4x that quality where camcorders are usually at least double (because the taking pictures function is secondary to filming video.)
