lack of light will cause the sensor NOT to gather information, the sensor will then try to 'create information' which is usually perceived as grain.
now about megapixel... is some ways megapixel is important to image quality... if not why would mags use MF at 45-60MP for shots? it all about the information gathered. the more information, the better decisions the processor in camera can make... and the the more choices the editor and printer have.
I started shooting digital in June 2001 with a 3mp camera and I don't mean pics of the dog at the park, I'm referring to creating content on a daily basis. I've been using bodies that have progressed up the MP ladder and seen the difference in MP vrs quality.
the biggest differences I experience is clarity, color and latitude, i.e. the smoothness of the gradient between black and whites... the more MP the more information available to carry the contrast between black and white, the more information available to render the shades of color in the images as well.
I have a professinal 12mp body and a professional 24mp body, while the 12mp body is a low light monster the 24mp body is the body of choice... best color I've ever expereince since using a digital camera.
as for focus making an image grainy..... standing by for wall of text
