Is 6.1 Megapixel Good Enough?

Is 6.1 Megapixel Good Enough?

Our sister site Uberpulse met with Nikon representatives at PMA and asked about them about the resolution arms race. The answer: “For many consumers 6.1 Megapixel, like our D40, is more then they will ever need. As most of the consumers are going to print 4x6 or 5x7 photos and rarely make prints bigger than that”. That’s a valid point on which Samsung also agrees. The time for easy upgrades is over, now manufacturers will have to push features like Connectivity (WiFi, 3G) to save photos directly onto a remote server and GPS that will remember where the photo was taken.

Maybe I'm the only one that doesn't care much about GPS and WiFi on my camera. I'd simply like to see higher quality cameras, lenses and pictures in the point and shoot realm.

GPS support would be especially hot now that Zooomr and Flickr are supporting Geo-Tagging. It'd be great to be able to upload a photo and have the metadata automatically indicate where it was taken.
