Frankly, the MP count isn't the issue here. The bottom line is that video on a point and shoot digital camera is more marketing than actual quality. The thing is, you're processing the video signal through the same chip as a digital still camera. That's a jack of all trades, master of none situation. 14 GB may sound attractive for video, but most encode in motion JPEG which is a very poor video encoder. H.264 is a much better alternative, if available. Secondly, audio quality of video on a point and shoot isn't really that great because it uses cheap omnidirectional microphones to capture the audio. This records a lot more ambient noise.
In the end, you have a video clip which is good for the web, but not much else.
If video is your hot button feature, you'd be better off looking for a camcorder which saves digital stills to a separate SD card. Many are up to 6 MP now, which gives good quality images for printing.
