Here is the world's only digital camera photography chart that lists: true megapixels*, pixel dimension, raw file size, AND dimensions at 300 dpi**.
This conversion is very important for graphic designers. If I want to professionally print a photograph, then it should be at least 300 dpi. If i am printing an image from a 2 megapixel camera, then the image can't be larger than about 6 x 4". An 8 megapixel camera will let me print images at about 11 x 8".

* The megapixel stats are true megapixels. For example, a camera that generates 2540 pixels x 1932 pixels is really a 4.9 megapixel camera. The manufacturer may sell that camera as 5 megapixels, but it's really not. 2540 times 1932 equals 4907280.
** The definition of DPI is: Dots Per Inch. A measure of the resolution of a printer, scanner, or monitor. It refers to the number of dots in a one-inch line. The more dots per inch, the higher the resolution.
