all of this assumes that the 24mp image is actually 1.5
times the resolution of the 16mp image. Its not because
you would have to have an infinite resolution lens to
achieve that. With the aps format, 24mp is really pushing

I'm sure Boris knows that.
Not that I don't want higher resolution, but right now, my desktop
handles K20D sized files with aplomb. It (most), probably, won't have
problems with K-5 sized files, though you never know, they are at least
twice as large as K20D files. My printer is capable of producing
13x19in output.

Related to what has already been said, more pixels gives software
algorithms more information to work with when interpolating (think
better sharpening, for instance).

having 20.5 MP APS-C sensor as well.

Most photographers who own DSLRs don't need 24mp. Hell, most don't need
2.4mp. On the other hand it will make a lot of computer hardware
manufactures happy.
