Hmm. I guess I assumed that as they ramped up the megapixels they found a way to keep the quality. I've certainly heard a lot of people complain about how their 10 MP camera takes worse pictures than their 5 MP cameras, but I've always assumed it came down to differences in sensors, in-camera processing, glass, etc.
