Top Picks - Digital Cameras with Five Megapixels  from your Digital Cameras Guide
If you love to print and frame your photos, five megapixels is a great level to target. These digital cameras aren't quite to the pro level, but they sure do produse dazzling images that work well printing 8x10s and even 11x14s. You start really seeing nice manual controls and cool features. This is a baby-step (both in price point and skill level required) towards the tremendously-popular high-megapixel digital SLR cameras.

1) Sony Cybershot DSC-T1 Digital Camera
If you aren't quite to the pro or digital SLR level, but still want a lot of camera, this is an ideal choice. It packs a lot of whollop with 5 megapixels and some cool features. It is compact, so it's extremely portable. If you want a small camera that will yield great enlargement prints, this is a wonderful choice.

2) Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 Black Digital Camera
With 5.0 megapixels and a large 12x optical zoom, this is a great all-around camera. It will take most photos you need, and result in wonderful high-quality, large-sized prints. If you need speed, you can shoot up to 30 frames per second. If you need control, you get manual exposure and white balance. It also features a handy voice recorder to attach notes to images.

3) Nikon Coolpix 5600 Digital Camera
If you want high-end quality images, but don't want a complicated camera, this is an idea choice. An easy-to-understand point-and-shoot, this 5.0-megapixel digital camera makes things simple. There are an amazing 16 scene modes. There is a one-button touch to automatically fix images. The only thing it doesn't do is take the picture for you.
