24 MP from an entry level DSLR

I shoot sport and need to crop as my lenses are not that long (max 25) but I also shoot nature and sometimes need to crop to get in close.

Here is a fly in my garden taken from 1 metre away with 55-250mm IS at full stretch (100% crop from a 10MP 1000D)

If I had more MP I could get more detail in the crop but more but MP and glass quality is a balancing act and you need to have a good match.
