I'm very happy with 11x14 and 13x19's from my 5megapixel Nikon 5000 and I
hear many are printing 20x25 and getting good results. I suspect better than
a 35mm slide enlargement to a comparable size. The point is digital is a
different medium as polaroid was and you have to judge it as such, after all
it IS  the eye of the beholder that counts not the line pairs or pixels(no
loupes allowed!)
