Hi there, and welcome to the forum. I will second Yelvertoft's post and explainations.
As someone who helps to explain these mysteries to people buying in the shop, I find it a constant battle to convince people that whilst a camera having amazing specs on paper vs another, it's not always be the key to nice crisp sharp images. As another example, certain Samsung and Kodak models offering features like very high pixel count (often 12mpixel and above), HDMI connection, widescreen LCD, a billion shooting modes etc, quite often don't offer the same results other (even older) models with a quarter the mpixel count, smaller LCD screens and fewer modes. Switching both on and uploading a sample picture usually separates the wheat from the chaff.
I took great glee in clearing an older Panasonic TZ series camera with 7mp vs a newer Kodak 'HD' model with 14mp, using this very method
