Question

Do you have 12 MegaPixel camera? Is it nice?

Answer 1

If you're paying a lot of extra money for 12 megapixels, you are wasting your money, unless you enlarge to poster size.

Answer 2

I don't have a 12 megapixel camera, but I do have a 10 megapixel camera and it is nice, but I use it more for "artistic" photography.   I also have a 5 megapixel camera that I use for casual photography and that does a great job as well.

If you're thinking about buying a 12 megapixel camera, then you should know that a camera with a higher count of megapixels is ideal if you plan to print out large, high-quality photos.  12 megapixel photos are nice, however they take up a lot more space on your computer because they're huge and contain a lot more detail.  So unless you plan to be printing out big HQ photos then a camera with between 5 and 8 megapixels should do you just fine (if you're going to use it for taking casual photos).
