High DR is not at odds with more pixels.

Unfortunately most consumers think more mega-whatever means better images (which we "all" know isn't true) but somehow it's (wrongly) become the benchmark.

I mean, consider the 24 MP D600 vs the 36 MP D800.  Does the D800 give up DR to the D600?

So, if anything is "unfortunate" it's people thinking more pixels result in lower IQ, when, in fact, the exact opposite is true.
