The answer to every photographic problem is BUY A MORE EXPENSIVE CAMERA !
It doesn't count unless you really cannot afford the camera.

Martineff, using a camera body with the full equivalent of a 35 mm digital capture will increase the pixels by roughly 1.6 times, providing much greater resolution for any given lens affixed ahead of it. From there you can go to better glass is you need greater yet resolution for bigger blowups. Yet the greatest difference will show up from the greater digital capture area. I believe Steve R references this same general maxim.
The pixel count is fixed based on the camera's sensor - it never changes. Any lens put on a 1.6 crop sensor camera will operate as if it were 1.6 x the lens mm on a full frame sensor camera - so the 35mm lens on this camera is equivalent to about 56mm lens on a full frame camera. The number of pixels are the same. Better glass will provide sharper images and could improve other issues such as CC.
