Actually, in this camera, yes, mexapixels are pretty much the only thing that does matter.
Being a medium-format camera that's aimed towards photographers who get massive prints made (think billboards) and studio photographers (i.e. for magazines), they NEED the extra megapixels. Dynamic range matters, but sensitivity really doesn't--since they're designed for studio shooting, they can control their own lighting. ISO 50/100 are fine when you have a lighting setup that resembles a portable sun.
"Good exposure"--Wat? You mean a metering system? Pros will be using their own light meter, and it's not like they can't manually bracket shots.
"Proper" ISO range--50/100/200 is enough for most pro studio photographers.
"High quality lens"--matters for all cameras, but you're a fool if you don't get a good lens for this body
The megapixels are important for cropping, enlarging, and editing, so yes, in this case, megapixels matter.
It's one of the reasons why medium and large format film/digital formats still exist. Medium format is slightly more than twice the physical size of 35mm and is more suitable for large prints.

Leica X1 photo gallery proves that big shots do come in little packages {Engadget}
Nov 8th 2009 12:00PM Meh, even though the X1 no longer follows Leica's tradition of releasing super-overpriced rebadges of Pannys, I am really not that jealous of this camera. Anything shot with ISO above 400 starts looking grainy as hell...you aren't seriously comparing this to the Digital Elphs SD200, right? If I was going to get a high-quality, small camera, I'd go with a G10/11, or even a DP2. Digital technology isn't worth shelling out tons of dough with the intention of having an heirloom object for your kids.
