The distinction isn't clear so the "experiment" is unclear. What megapixel level is photo A and what megapixel level is photo B? The distinction isn’t clear so the “experiment” is unclear.

It's a 9mp camera. But I have come to find out that quality of the picture has little to do with the quantity of pixels. This camera has more settings than Brittney Spears has court appearances. Just adjusting the ISO setting can be a world of difference between a good picture and a great picture. I have several 16x20" on the wall. All done @ ISO 80, and shutter speed select on manual. Looks as good as film. My friend with the new 12mp DSLR in some cases can't match the quality of the Fuji. I suspect there is much going on in software that that is not being said by the camera mfrs that can account for this disparity.
