Resolution is a direct engineering trade off with dynamic-range in most sensor designs, many cameras employ "pixel-binning" when used at lower resolutions which increases real quality of the images by allowing multiple photo sites to contribute to the tonal data of a single real pixel.

I noticed this when I got my first "multi-megapixel" camera... It actually seemed to have better picture quality at LOWER resolutions...

    12 Megapixels means nothing if you're using a 3mm Bayer CMOS with
    a terrible signal to noise ratio. The photos will still look like
    really nasty.

    When will this stupid megapixel myth die?
