To me that does not make sense. Why create bigger chips if your not going to utalize the size to increase PPI? The current CCD chips can handle the Pixels as long as the manufactureing standards are kept high. 2 years ago when 10MP point and shoots were first being released it was common to have a great deal of noise do to the fact that the CCD was now using areas of the CCD that were determined to be of lesser quality. Todays 10MP cameras do not have the same problems with noise. This could be Software but I believe it is also the CCD.
Bottom line is the average digital shooter does not need anything more than 3MP.
