With the latest tech in gapless microlenses on each photosite, the light-gathering loss is virtually zero, so I think we can finally put this one to rest. DR is effectively independent from megapixel count, in real-world use.never said it did, but it does mean less light gathering capabilities, thats not a myth.
What is a bigger deal is, SNR and how megapixels affect the look of "grain" at various ISOs. (Personally, I welcome higher MP counts in this regard, too, because I like the finer look to "grain" (noise), but others still prefer 12-24 megapixels for the cleanest images, when incorrectly comparing them at 100% ;-)
