Is a 3 megapixel camera any good?

Question

Mine is 8mp, but I don't have a memory card yet so I guess i'll have to set it to 3mp just for tomorrow, I'm going hiking so I'll be taking pics.

Would 3mp pictures look terrible?

Answer 1

lol   They won't look like the 8mp if you blow them up.  But if you plan on keeping them for web use or small prints then it's fine. :)

Answer 2

It will be able to make nice 4x6 pictures.

Answer 3

they will look just like the 8mp
