Resolution is important for images the need high resolution. IMO, most images don't. Depends on the subject matter and the intent of the photo. Again, my opinion, but most images will benefit first from lack of noise and sharp edges (acutance) and than from increased resolution. But people have been trained to want more of what-ever and so focus on things that can be measured and and quantified as "more" because then the marketers can trot out a new thing and say "See - it's got more!"

So bring on the megapixels, Jack!

resolution doesn't scale linearly with the number of pixels; with perfect lenses and sensors, it scales with the square root of the number of pixels; then you add the real world factors
