Will I notice a massive difference one general taking of photos ie at the zoo of family etc Im not that interested in making my photos any bigger than standard size
MP shouldn’t be your leading factor in choosing a digital camera. As long as you have at least 6mp there won’t really be a whole lot of difference unless you’re printing poster sized prints or larger.
Im looking to buy a new digital camera both hace simlear reviews however one is 8.1 and the other is 10mp?

No, the 10 mp is a better quality for making large reprints, for family photos of normal size the 8.1 will be just fine. I have a 7.1 and it is great quality for what you are talking about!

I wouldn’t think so – I have an 8mp which is absolutely plenty. Even a 3.2mp mobile phone camera produces decent standard prints.

if there both in same price range and have similar features then myself personally i would have the 10mp it all depends on make off camera 2 as like kodak have good repitation for being good like canon always look out as memory card 1 might have say 128mb but other 1 you looking at might have 1gb so that can be bonus 2 m8

Not only will you not notice a massive difference, you should buy the 8.1, because often the quality of the photos you take will actually be better with less megapixels.
The reason is simple: for regular 4×6" prints you only need 5 mp max. Anything more is overkill – who prints out photos the size of a household door – I certainly don’t. Manufacturers spend extra money putting in more pixels, when what you really need is a better quality lens or sensor.
So, if you’re looking at an 8.1 and 10.0 mp camera which are the same age and cost the same, the 8.1 will usually have a better lens, sensor or more included bonuses (like memory cards or cases).
Hope this helps

Since there is NOT a massive difference in size between the two then no, the difference has more to do with the quality of the lens, size of the sensor (not pixel count) and electronics in the camera.

The higher the megapixels the larger prints you can make, and you can crop a lot more without getting into trouble. You probably won’t be able to notice too much a difference
