Effects of more pixels range in Digital camera?

The only draw back of more pixels would be taking up more space for storage...ie less pictures fitting on a card. But all you have to do to fix that is set your camera on lower quality if you know you are not going to need to crop a lot of blow the picture up big. On the other side of the coin the biggest advantage to higher pixels is you can crop with out losing quality its like expanding your shooting range as if you had a telephoto because you can zoom your image in a crop. For image quality anything above a 4 will let you make nice 8 X 10s it's the cropping or really big enlargements where higher pixels really make a difference my last camera was a 6 and it was great. Something to think about is with how fast new cameras come out and people always upgrading you may want to think about Buying used you'll get more camera for the money. Just be carful who you by from.
