I think it is fair to say that a 2 megapixel camera just doesn't 
produce a picture that can compare to a 35mm point-and-shoot camera.  
If I  had to choose between the two formats I would pick the 35mm every 
time.

I don't think this is true for a 3 megapixel camera.  If you want to 
enjoy digital photos in the same way that you enjoy 35mm film photos 
(print out, photo album, bring them to work and pass around, etc.) then 
you *must* use at least a 3 megapixel camera.   Moving up to a 4 or 5 
megapixel camera will
give you even more flexibility.
