The higher the megapixels the higher the quality of the pic. You can blow it up a lot more, zoom it in when you're editing. Its no good having high optical and digital zoom if you only have a low amount of megapixels, because if you do enlarge it, it can become pixelated. So, IMHO megapixels are more important than the zoom feature. I'm not saying you don't need zoom, but it's just that everyone focuses (no pun intended  ) on that and ignores the importance of the amount of megapixels.  Hopefully this is more clear, than my first post...I was being lazy
