I would highly recommend a visit to: http://www.users.qwest.net/~rnclark/scandetail.htm
if you are interested in questions like 'How many Mp do I need to get to x quality..?' Mr Clark has excellent samples and simulations up to 194 Mp (!) equivalents, and some quite detailed information. As for me, I'm quite surprised at the image quality obtainable from, say, a 3.3 Mp camera if there is so much interpolation going on.
