What is the quality of pictures taken with a 2 megapixel camera?

Answer 1

They can really be quite good, if you compose properly. Most major manufacturers will post sample photos taken with popular camera models. What I do is enter the model number into a search engine, but click images. You often get not only pictures of the camera itself, but pictures taken with the camera. Some photo forums have galleries that can be searched by camera or by lens. I've seen 2 MP shots that were excellent and could be printed large with the right software. But they certainly wont allow you to do as much cropping as with 5 or 6 megapixels and up. Keep in mind that when you see a picture that's sharp and well done when viewed to fit the desktop, regardless of the original file size, you're viewing a sample that's been reduced to under 2 megapixels to fit your screen. 1280x1024=1.3MP and 1600x1200=1.9MP.
