One thing I've always thought lost in the discussion of increased digicam pixel count is that at a point you gain no real useful information in those pixels, because you've crossed the threshold of whether vibration allows resolution at that level at all.

Sure more pixels usually mean slightly more information, and there's obviously techniques: stability-enhancement, faster shots etc, that change this critical point. But for the average person carrying a camera: we crossed the critical point long ago and now just waste a lot of SSD space.
