You can make a print as big as you like with a 4 pixel image, it depends upon your threshold of acceptability :-) Noise, sensitivity and exposure latitude of a G2 is no where near as good as achieved with lower density sensors. Higher density sensors such as found in the G5 limit lenses usability above medium apertures. Focus accuracy and lens registration and SLR finder system accuracy becomes much more of an issue if the full resolution potential is to be realized.
