you should see the comparison of the nikon d40 vs d40x , where you see the expansion you talked about between sensors within the same generation ; if you look at the D40x it has a lot more dynamic range compared to d40, at almost 2x the pixels.
Yes, I think so. Packing that many times pixels with the same quality is no small feat! I agree though, the 12MP of the 5D is quite enough for me as well, I never found that I would have needed more.

I guess the fact that the leica is close to the 5d with such a higher megapixel count is the improved technology. Luckily 12 is plenty for me!
