Even an inexpensive 1.3 megapixel will (IIRC) provide all the resolution that can be used on a normal computer monitor (1280x1024 = 1,310,720 pixels).

My Olympus D400 1.3 had a resolution of 1280*960. But your numbers were close enough.

If you ever intend to make prints from your digital photos, I'd recommend 2 or 3 megapixels minimum. You can get an 8 x 10 print from a 1.3, but you have to do some editing on good software (Photoshop) to get it to come out looking good.
