It does go to show that no matter how many megapixels you have a good lens is essential for pin sharp photos. I have to say that I have some early digital photos, which I would love to print off in a large format, but they just don't have enough pixels. I completely agree with the comment to use the highest resolution you have - you can always reduce the size of the file but you can't easily improve on the original. I think you will find that most modern cameras have plenty of megapixels as standard. Hard drive storage has become so cheap now it isn't worth economising on picture size – you may well regret it in years to come.
