A 2mp camera can make a 4x6 print at 300dpi and a 8x10 print at 150dpi. A 3mp camera can make a 5x7 print at 300dpi and a 11x14 print at 150dpi. (Those aren't exact numbers, but that's pretty close). Obviously, if you only need a camera for the Web and for 4x6 to 8x10 prints, a 2mp camera will do just fine.
