> whole it still looks pretty crappy at full resolution. Why is that? Could we fix it by using larger CCD/CMOS sensor pixels and sticking to lower total pixel counts?

Indeed amazing things can be achieved through that. Sony has released a camera called a7s with 12 Megapixels (while its resolution-focused counter part a7r has 42), that is crazy sensitive. You can film at night and have the results look like you filmed at day.
