Digital BW, The Print

How bad would the quality control have to be to have a 4.2 megapixel
camera beat a 14 megapixel camera in sharpness and resolution?  Would
either Kodak or Nikon really allow that to happen? I have always
wondered, why do the amateur cameras have better resolution than the pro
cameras? at a fourth the price? The D60's 6 mp chip produces sharper
images than the canon 4.2 chip. All of us don't need the high end. Some
need the sharpness and resolution FIRST and the rest can come later.
