There's a whole category of pro cameras where the MP count is intentionally kept down to match the image-handling workflows behind the photographer.
Think of your classic Sports Illustrated photographer... those images are not going to run larger than double truck in a print magazine, and 12 MP is plenty for that. Heck, National Geographic's first digital two-page spread was shot with a Nikon D1X.
And news and sports images need to go out FAST... where again a lower MP count actually helps.
