megapixels and sensor size, there are pros and cons of each and it depends upon lots of stuff.
If you have a 10mp 1.6 sensor and a 16mp full frame camera, you actually have fewer pixels per area which means lower pixel density/resolution.
If you have a 1.6 sized sensor, then your lenses don't work like the focal length suggests because the images are cropped. You don't actually get more magnification, you just get less picture. IE, a 50mm on Digital Rebel XT has a similar FOV as an 85mm would on a film or full frame camera.
Recently, there was a long thread debating the pros/cons on a Canon forum that I check.
