It is not because it may become obsolete, any will, but it still
should do
everything in ten years that it does now. We all know people still
quite
happy with 1 or 2 megapixels because they never print anything. 3
or 4
megapixels will print 4x6 inches, and 6 or 8 megapixels will print
8x10
inches. Few of us have any use for more megapixels. But if you
need more,
you should buy more.

I've enlarged 6.1 megapixels very successfully to 20 x 16.(Nikon
D70)
In fact, the resolution of the lens becomes apparent before pixels
are
noticeable so if you need more pixels, you also need better lenses

....and it has to be said that the 18-70mm zoom provided as standard
with the D70 is one of the best lenses on the market. Says an awful
lot about digital quality.
