About Pixels: All images are composed of dots (pixels). Take a look closely at a newspaper, you'll see them there, too.
Imagine small, multi-colored blocks to "draw" with.
If I gave you only 20 of these blocks and asked to create a face, you'd be hard pressed to do much. If I gave you 20,000, you would be able to do a pretty face large and clear.
Essentially, the more pixels the better the picture.
However, there is a limit to some P & S cameras with their small sensor - squeeze in too many pixels, and you made things worse (this creates problems such as grain / noise). 5-6 megapixels is on the boundary of one of those tiny cameras, if you want better quality, you need a camera with a bigger sensor.
About the video: you can not expect the same camera small to do really well in both still and video.
If video is important to you, get a camcorder that's why they exist - they simply do a better job of taking video.
