In case you were wondering when the final treaty would be signed in the megapixel war, I think today is as good as any day to call it. There's a 12-megapixel GE—that is to say, brand-licensing no-name Chinese manufacturer—camera selling on HSN for "under" $200. It even lists a 2.7" LCD, an SD/SDHC card slot (though up to 4GB only, so not sure the deal there), and shooting up to ISO 3200. Despite all this, our suspicion is that its pictures won't be exactly Canon-grade to say the least. At any rate, a test of this baby will answer once and for all whether megapixels matter. [HSN]

I bet the noise on those images would be gross!
Actually reviews of the new GE camera line have been acceptable to good.
The guy who heads the company that produces these cameras is the former vice-president of R&D at either Canon or Olympus.
(I read up on digicams before Christmas, when I was going to buy an upgrade for my wife...)
this is my knid of deal to go with the $1k 47" Vizio. The end of branded BS is nigh - go read about it.
