I believe the focus on megapixels did the digital camera world a disservice. When mobile phone cameras were introduced, phone makers were able to cram in the pixels and market the phones as comparable with purpose-built cameras. Had camera makers focussed on other measurables (like lens quality, perception depth) camera phones would have remained a novelty, or at best a useful phone app. More cameras would have been sold, and these could have been higher-end sales as well.
