So a lot depends on the intended use.

I disagree.
"Everything" depends on your intended use.
There is a major difference between the D200 and the D300. The quantity of megapixels is irrelevant. The size and quality of the sensor is far more important. If you need it, the real time viewing can same a lot of wear and tear on your knees. The number of focus points and type of metering system, may, and I say may be important. None is meaningful if you are not using the features as an aid to get the type of images you want.

There are cheap P & SO units today with 10 megapixels. A lot of folks may think these cheapies are fine and for them they may very well be.

Do more megapixels take photographers, or better pictures.
