Have you read and understood the relevant discussions ?
but there has to be a point where a sensor can have too many pixels.
Why ? The article that you cite was authored around 5.5 years ago (September 2007). Nobody commented. The author(s) make erroneous claims, and provide no images as their evidence.
How about if you, yourself make specific assertions (and provide evidence) as to why such is so.
According to this website it actually begins at 6mp in compact cameras. Any more then that and quality goes down.
"Time went by and at the Photokina in 2004, 6 megapixels for digital cameras were introduced. Experts agree that a photo with 6 megapixels can hold up to an average picture on 35mm film under typical exposure conditions. Unfortunately the quality of pictures has consistently decreased since then.
The website do have images for comparison
http://6mpixel.org/en/sensitivity/
Technology have evolved. More megapixel didn't result in degraded image quality.
However, the increase file size takes longer time to process and affect productivity.
Most people don't print the image and just upload them to flickr or other image sharing website.
Therefore, 6 MP is actually enough for normal point and shoot camera.
I remember my old 6 MP - Fujifilm F31d can produce very good images before it went to heaven.
I hope the camera makers lie FujiFilm would focus on increasing the dynamic range rather than the megapixel.
