The super high MP cameras just can't shoot frames as fast. Plus, there's things like noise to consider and other features you might need. I would suggest looking long and hard at many of the reviews on the net. There's just too much to go into here. But you of course will have to ask yourself, just exactly what do you need. Super high res, or fast frame per second shooting? The Kodak 14 Mp camera has had some pretty bad reviews on quality, although it's price is low for such high res, noise is quite high, and colours are a bit off.
