I haven't heard these 24MP rumors but I guess that may be the next step. 
  I recall Reichmann (of Luminous-Landscape) lamenting that the 16MP 
bodies were really stretching the capability of some of the lenses.  I 
wonder can a lens designed originally for 35mm film resolve 24MP.  It's 
also quite recent memory that the 30D did not move up from the 8MP of 
the 20D.  However, the same pixel density as on the 20/30D would yield a 
21MP sensor on full frame.

I think I just answered my own quesiton.  The pixel density of the 30D 
equates to 78 lines/mm.  Good lenses should be able to do it.
