To be honest, in a compact digital camera, the difference between 10 and 12 Mega Pixel mega pixels are not noticeable. Unless you plan to print enlargement enormous sizes, including 7 million pixels is a lot! The same kind of thing happens with the zoom. But it depends on how you want to use the camera. If you take lots of photos indoors and family than 3.7x, etc. is sufficient. However, consider that the extra pixels to 2 mega allow crops (Consider also that if you make huge prints, you'll be able to culture is close with the camera). I recommend to go into a store to keep stocks in your hands before making a decision. Both cameras are good, made by reputable companies. Hopefully it is useful for you!
