A higher pixel count is not important to me. 14.6 megapixel already allows me to crop more than I do. High-ISO quality is the only true improvement I can dream of. So if I had to think about my FF camera of choice, it would be in the range of 16-18 megapixel (so that the DA crop will retain 8-9 mpix) and it will sport excellent IQ at ISO 6400. The latter is far more important to me than FF in itself, but if FF is the price to pay, then I could be interested. For shooting at ISO 100-400, FF is nonsense to me.
