Most folks consider Speed and the Mega Pixel size as the two factors that make up a great camera. Speed is the metric that measures just how fast a camera takes to focus and how long it will take for you to take the perfect shot.

Megapixels is on the other hand is the metric that gauges the resolution of a particular camera. A higher mega pixel size is often preferred preferred to a smaller one. The mega pixel does influence the clarity of an image, but isn’t necessarily the only factor in the mix.

Therefore, for this case, size doesn’t really matter.
