haha me too, so many times as well :bonk:

I think the main points have been covered but here it is again. - Sensor size - Lens quality - Auto Focus the megapixels really comes last and becomes irrelevent when it goes beyond 10MP. Infact the more pixels you have within the same sensor size could introduce more noise in the image...

What do you do about lens flare? i use a hood already but still get the odd unpleasant flare when shooting in direct sunlight. Are there methods to avoid this and how to post process this if not?

I think you're worrying too much about the distinction between primes and zooms, it's not about prime or zoom it's more about what focal length you prefer to use with your style of shooting. You should experiment with different focal lengths to see their effects and how it changes the way you...
