Thank you for your responses. I haven't seen a bridge camera that has a sensor other than the 1/2.33, so was wondering if getting a lower pixel count, say 16 Mp, would actually be better than a 20 Mp unit, or perhaps a 12 Mp, and still be good enough for 8x10 prints, maybe 11x14. If there are bridge cameras with larger sensors, I will have to explore that avenue.
A related is resampling. While pixel peeping you might see the difference, but once you downsample a higher megapixel image to match the same resolution as the lower megapixel image, it is better to have more megapixels.
