I've found that most digital cameras are very good despite what megapixel they are but that's just my experience! We have a 5 mp camera which is excellent but my neighbour only has a 3 and theirs is just as good.
My advice would be to shop around! one camera that's on offer in one store is probably going to be cheaper in another, just keep asking the staff which has been popular etc but don't get talked into a camera you don't want to buy.
