We’re currently investigating an issue related to the forum theme and styling that is impacting page layout and visual formatting. The problem has been identified, and we are actively working on a resolution. There is no impact to user data or functionality, this is strictly a front-end display issue. We’ll post an update once the fix has been deployed. Thanks for your patience while we get this sorted.
Objective look... how many Megapixels are these pics? ** NOW UPDATED **

No if you re-read the question I'm asking what the MP rating of the camera is. The title is there to draw you in. If I asked what the MP rating of the camera is on the title not many people will come in, or they'd suggest something like "what's the model #" and "Go google it."
I can't tell you if they were resized in anyway because if I do then that skews the results and eliminates or concludes a choice based on my answer. I can tell you that the image you are looking at is exact in detail from the camera with possible resizing, but I obviously can't confirm it was or wasn't resized.

It looks like either digital zoom was used or there was no resizing. It looks like a normal 100% crop from a consumer level P&S. So I'd say 2MP.
BTW, this is a stupid comparison. Image quality has to do with A LOT of factors - sensor size, lens, settings used, JPG processing, just to name a few. An 8MP P&S resized to 4MP is not going to look anywhere as good as a 4MP Nikon D2Hs, at 100% crop.

I think it's probably between 3 and 4 MP from a point and shoot digital camera, because:
1) The type of noise does not look like something that one would see from a DSLR under these conditions
2) The noise, however, does not look like what I'm used to seeing at 1:1 in a P&S image, hence I think that it was resized down slightly
3) It was not resized down a lot (from a high-MP camera), I suspect, because if it were, even a P&S would appear to have decent noise properties at this resolution under these conditions
4) The areas without detail seem to have a "painterly" appearance to them, which could come from a Kodak 14n or a P&S (I wager the latter, obviously)
5) Finally, I think the images were resized down because I don't see (m)any JPEG artifacts that I would expect if the image were straight from the type of camera that I suspect was used.

Gosh...I have no idea. What's the answer?
It's almost impossible to tell. The amount of infomation contained in the files can only tell you so much. If the focus is not right, your picture won't contain as much actual detail of the subject as if the focus were sharp.
We can only say that the picture on the screen is about 2 megapixels. Whether the camera is capable of more than that, I don't know. Whether the lens was capable of shooting sharper than that, I don't know.
I'm going to say that it's a 2 megapixel camera. And the color doesn't look like Canon, so I'm going to guess and say Sony. Want me to get even more specific and make a wilder guess? DSC-F505.

There's a bit of noise in the image, enough so that I'm guessing it's a P&S Camera.
It also looks like the images are a bit blurred, as though they were cropped from a larger image. There's not a lot of detail in them. It could be straight out of a 2MP Camera I suppose, or just that the image is beyond the resolution capabilities of the lens.
In any event, I'm not sure what your objective is. Personally... I didn't purchase any of my cameras baed on MP value, the same way I wouldn't purchase a car based on the HP/Torque numbers but, it is/was a factor in my decision.

If it was re-sized, then it doesn't matter how many megapixels the image was shot at.
I can tell you that your lens isn't as sharp as it could be and that the image sensor is clipping highlights a bit though. My guess is that they were shot on either a pretty good point and shoot or a DSLR with a low-end lens (like a Sigma lens or something slimilar).

No, we wanna know. I voted 3-4 but I didn't analyze noise or graininess to make this determination (i.e. random guess).
