Indeed, but I'm always finding I want to zoom in on something in the photo because of what I inadvertently caught in the background so having a slightly higher resolution is helpful. I only tend to dumb down if I'm on a long full day session without download access. I'd certainly agree that there is little point setting a modern digital camera to use its full pixel definition. Anything over 5 megapixel is defiantly overkill in my view. Currently I'm using my old 2.1megapixel camera and thats normally quite sufficient.
