Do Megapixels Matter??

The number of megapixels basically refers to the clarity you will achieve with your pictures, the more pixels the clearer the picture as well as the ability to enlarge the picture more with less distortion. as for 10 mp or 12 mp it will not matter much either way. but when it comes to quality I would definitely go with the Nikon as my choice. Better optics with the Nikon will enhance your photographic memories of your trip.
