Depends what you're using the camera for. If you're photographing something to put up on a 20-foot roadside billboard, then more Mp the better.

If you're just photographin' for the web, pretty much anything over 4-6Mp is overkill. I shoot with a 4.1Mp olympus e10 dslr and its just right for web content - gives me good latitude for cropping. 8-10mP or greater is good for high-quality print applications.

That said, all the megapixels in the world won't make a mediocre photographer into a great photographer.
