This subject has been beat'n almost to death, but there has to be a point where a sensor can have too many pixels
When there are more pixels than there are photons reaching the image plane this might perhaps be true.
According to this website it actually begins at 6mp in compact cameras. Any more then that and quality goes down.
For a very peculiar definition of "quality". It is not defined explicitly, but implicitly understood to be pixel level noise.
Which is a very weird way to look at "quality", since if all photons were individually recorded the image at 1:1 would look like a noisy mess with zero detail (worst possible quality according to that site) while the photo viewed on a screen would have marvelous, fantastic, today unheard of detail, resolution and lack of noise (best possible quality).
Thus something must be amiss in the premises that site uses. Perhaps they know not of what they speak? SIWOTI!
