You didn't say that correctly. It should be "I snapped a picture of myself 
taking a picture of myself in the mirror taking a picture of myself in the 
mirror taking a picture of myself in the mirror taking a picture of myself 
in the mirror taking a picture of myself in the mirror taking a picture of 
myself in the mirror..." ad infinitum.

'Effective megapixels' refers to the size of the photo in pixels when 
reconstructed from the compressed file.

It's the little screen that eats batteries (mostly). If your camera has an 
optical viewfinder you can preserve your batteries by using that and 
turning off the screen.

At 3.2 megapixels the image resolution is a long way from 35mm slide film 
which runs from 10 to 15 megapixels (equivalent since film isn't in 
megapixels but that's a long explanation).
