What you need to understand is that though megapixels are nice, they are not the be all and end all.
The Nikon D1h at 2.7mpixels absolutely murders *ANY* prosumer camera available now regardless how many megapixels there are, and the picture quality is better than the 6mpixel Nikon D100 or Canon 10D/Rebel.
Why you ask? It's because of the quality of the sensor. The D1h uses very large photosites and the noise levels are near non existent. It's something you'd never realise by reading posts by the megapixel infatuated crowds on slashdot and other forums, you'll only get it by using the cameras.
In the Canon camp, it's the same thing. The 4mpixel Canon 1D absolutely flogs the 6mpixel 10D.
