How many megapixels are enough?
As of August 2003, the common answer is six, for most photographers, and 12 for serious studio photographers. This, of course, is not a valid answer, and requires one to accept three myths: “6 megapixels is adequate for sharp 8×10, 11×14, or 13×19 prints”, “current lenses don’t have enough resolution for higher pixel counts”, and “higher pixel counts increase the cost of the camera dramatically”.
