I don't think most consumers know how much MPs are in the camera, nor have any idea what the number means in terms of picture quality. Hence this: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm

My dad, mom and sis know what Mpx camera they have on their phones. And my mom and dad are no way close to being tech savvy. What the number means is a whole different question. But if you don't know that in your phone, you cannot begin to say that you are tech savvy.

So someone who's playing with node.js, EC2, Arduinos, etc. isn't tech savvy because they didn't read their phone's spec sheet when they bought it?

Most costumers don't yes. But tech savvy ones do.

A tech-savvy person probably knows that raw megapixel numbers are meaningless. A non-tech-savvy person probably got the number from the guy at Best Buy trying to make his commission.

I'm tech-savvy. I honestly couldn't tell you how many MP the camera in my iPhone has.
