I think that right now in consumer grade sensors a 6mp APS size sensor is 
about optimum which may explain why the  makers don't seem to be in any 
great hurry to increase megapixel counts on the semipro cameras.

Except that some of the lowest noise at higher sensitivities occur on 
cameras sudh as the 1DIIn (8MP), 20D (8MP) and Nikon D2X which is supposedly 
the very best (12MP - I think) all on APS-C sized sensors.

Sensor technology is probably catching up to allow for higher pixel 
densities and less noise.
