Image quality and megapixels, little has improved.

Recently went from an old £60 3.2mp camera to a new canon £100 16mp thing, looks like it should be great but the image quality isn't much better than the old one, resolution is a lot bigger of course but what's the point in that, where's the improved image quality exactly?

It doesn't look like things have moved on in all these years, sure it has more features like hd video and image stabilisation but otherwise nothings changed, even the hd video quality is more like sd packaged in a higher resolution.

It's a bit wrong tbh, you would expect it to be better after 5 years plus going to a better brand camera, the features and build quality are good but what matters most is image quality and im just not seeing much improvement, in fact it would be better if they kept its current quality and saved a lower resolution, blowing it up full size just shows how poor it is with fine detail.
