Well, it does allow you to blow your shots up more, but your not gonna need shots that big unless you're making billboards... I only have 7 megapixels and I already end up with pictures the size of the state of Connecticut... now if you want pictures the size of Alaska that's up to you I suppose. I know that when Ben was looking for a camera a while ago he wanted a minimum of 12 megapixels so he could do a lot of cropping, but I really just don't see how it's necessary.

But yeah, generally lenses are way more important than megapixels.
That's pretty good for 24.2mp (actually, I believe the a900 is 24.6mp), Canon has a 21.1mp camera for around $7000, so that's actually not a bad deal. But then again megapixels aren't everything. I'm sure it's a very good quality camera though.
