Considering all problems, specially noise, related to 10MP APS-C sensors I was thinking the MP War would progress more slowly in the future, settle down a bit and stabilize around, say, 15MP, perhaps 20MP?...

Megapixel madness
Instead of ever more megapixels tit for tat, wouldn't it be nice if camera manufacturers swapped over to the dynamic range issue for a while.
