Note that once you’ve set your aperture, your camera will choose a shutter speed with the goal of producing a perfect exposure.

If you mostly get the subject filling as much of the frame as you need, then 20MP is plenty. 30MP gives you a little more room to crop and still reveal detail, but only up to a point and it’s not as much as it sounds. Useful if you do need it, but adds nothing if you don’t.
