Stephen,

I think you've answered your own question here. If you're doing selective crops of images that you then print at A3, then yes, pixels count. If you're taking pictures for viewing on a screen, or printing 6*4, then you can get away with just about anything, and the higher pixel count will be meaningless.

Besides, there's some photographers with some very high MPixel count cameras that still take some bad photos. Likewise, you seem to do ok (tongue planted firmly in cheek here) with your D2. Those who look at the pixels miss the big picture.
