A gigabit is 1000 times the size of a megabit, I believe. If this is the same as bytes (I believe the values are 1/8 of bytes), meaning 1000 (1024, really) megabytes = 1 gigabyte, then 1000 (1024, I assume) megabits = 1 gigabit.

Either way, giga is always greater than mega, whatever the suffix is.

Megapixels and megabytes measure different things. A megabyte is a unit of about 1 million bytes of computer memory, where megapixels measure the quality of a photo in the number pixels in a certain area.

megapixles are for images and on cameras - think images quality/size

megabite (MB) is memory and space you can use like on a memory card
