Higher resolution can bring other things than just more pixels. A lot of
cameras now already have sensors close to the nyquist rate for the
lenses. Once the sensor can always out resolve the lens, there will
never be a need for anti aliasing, and you will know that you are always
getting everything possible out of the lens.
Igor and I already recently discussed how much of the performance that
you lose by higher resolution pixels that you can regain with math. The
answer is not simple, but the K-3 versus the K-5 implies that in real
world use, you can get a lot of it back. But the higher resolution can
give you more information with which to work and apply even more
sophisticated image processing. The lytro is already showing one
possible use for all of the added information that is possible to get at
higher resolution, I suspect that more breakthroughs, albeit with less
radical hardware, are to come.

I wonder how long until the digital banquet camera comes into being ...
