The sensor is the most important component in a camera...


The lens is more important (assuming your only goal is image
quality).


The "weakest link" is always going to be the "most important"
component, in the sense that improvments to the limiting component
are going to have to most greatest effect on the image quality.
A lot of cameras do not have optics good enough to exploit a higher
pixel count, to pick one classic example. For such cameras,
improving the optics is the only way to improve the image. I
once owned a compact camera that, in closeup mode, could resolve
details down to one pixel. It could actually have benefited from
more pixels.
