MP do not have anything to do with image quality. Only if you want to make large printouts or digital zoom.
Well it somewhat does.
a 12Mp Camera compared to a 3Mp camera photo, which will have better quality?

Digital cameras capture images as pixel elements, known as pixels. Simply put, a megapixel is equal to one million pixels.
Digital images are made up of thousands of these tiny, tile-like picture elements. The more pixels, the higher the image resolution.
Resolution relates primarily to print size and the
amount of detail an image has when viewed on a computer monitor at 100%.The number of megapixels is only
one aspect relating to the quality of a camera, or
the actual quality of a photo it is capable of producing. Factors such as camera sensor and the optical quality of a lens play equally important roles.
If you buy a digital camera with
too few megapixels for your printing and editing needs, photo quality can become degraded. A photo made into a large sized print from a camera with a low megapixel count will look fuzzy, or pixelated. So will a digital image that is cropped too much.
