It really does depend on how the image was taken.
NIkon makes a full-frame camera that is less than 25mp because its not necessary. 25mp in digital terms is so high that its almost counter-productive. The other reason is that until recently, 25mp on a digital camera was only really available on the Medium Format bodies. Canon has had it's 21mp sensor for only a little while, and the D3x was only released earlier this year.

Thanks for all your input Os - it has been very helpful and eye-opening at the same time. I was too stuck on wanting to get a full frame 25mp camera but our discussion has really helped and I feel more confident going into a crop-sensor camera.
