So watch for the anomalies when the 8-megapixel cameras drop below
$336, or $42 a megapixel. CompUSA, for instance, was recently
offering the 10-megapixel Exilim Z1000 for $400, or $40 a megapixel.

Assessing the value of a camera in terms of dollars per megapixel has got to
be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

From your perspective that's certainly true. But the article
wasn't written for you. For its intended audience it wasn't dumb at
all, although it was far from an example of brilliant analysis. And
where would you advise investors to plunk down their easily earned
cash? If it's a company other than Canon they'll need a large
shipment of lithium batteries down in Hades.
