Are you sure that you are not mixing up Megapixels with megabytes? These 2 are absolutely different things!
Megapixel are the largest picture your camera can take: For example Canon EOS 400D has 10.1MP, it can take a photo of 3888x2592 pixels, if you multiply these two you're get 10.1 milion pixels that this photo consists.
Megabyte is used to refer to memory amount. So 12.2MP photo means it has 12 milion pixels in it, not that it should take 12 MB (megabytes).

just to add that you really don't need 12.2 megapixels with a consumer point and shoot camera because all low cost cameras have small sensors and when you use such a big picture size it actually decreases picture quality
i recommend that you dont use resolutions over 5 MP it really isnt necessary unless you will print large size photos, but for that you will proobably use a better camera (SLR)
cheers
