Paul, I think @ 6MP, image quality @ a printed 11"X17" size is somewhat dependant on the image itself. The data @ that file size has to be interpolated to allow enough data to print @ 11"X17". I've read that for a full 13"X19" print, @ 300dpi printer resolution, without interpolation, a 12 to 14 MP camera output file is needed.

That may be true in theory. I don't find it to be true in practice. In my experience, an 11 x 17 print from a carefully processed an interpolated *ist D file looks every bit as good to the naked eye as a 35mm print.
