I haven't seen a 30MP small-format camera from anyone yet, and IIRC when the 
DMR was announced the same predictions were made, that C and N sensor specs 
would leave the DMR in the dust before the DMR had a day in the sun.  Once 
people started using the DMR its files revealed that image quality goes far 
beyond counting pixels and in many respects at lower ISO settings it's still 
a benchmark camera.
