In agreement with Klaus, it is indeed quite difficult to get single-pixel features on my 14 megapixel APS-C sensor format Nex. Yes it does happen, but it's not something I can count on unless I am either taking super-fast electronic flash photos, or pictures of non-moving objects, and of course it better be at F11 or larger aperture--and probably the camera should be on a tripod. I question what more I would get out of a 28 megapixel sensor, resolution-wise, on APS-C.
But all my photos would benefit from having higher ISO's available, i.e. from a lower noise sensor, no question.
It is interesting nonetheless to speculate that we'll end up with less noise and more quality, in the end, if we have a super-high-megapixel sensor, and get rid of the AA filter, and have the individual noise pixels be smaller and/or do downsampling of the high res masters.
