Quick Question About Mega Pixels

[MCTFisher9120]

My little 7mega pixel digital camera has options where i can choose how many MP's i can use when taking a photo...when or why would i choose to use less MP's? Wouldnt this make the picture less clear?

That option is mainly there to help save memory if needed. More megapixels take up more memory. You wouldn't be able to notice the difference just looking at the photos on your computer screen but if you print them you will lose quality....but only really with stuff above 8x10. Hope this helps

O ok, and yes this helped...i got lot's of memory anyway...I stick with the full 7MP's
