What is the largest print I can make with a 10mp digital pic?

I have some trip pictures taken with my Canon XS that I'm thinking of making into those big canvas prints. What's the largest I can make the prints and still have it look okay?

The pictures are of mostly trees, with some water/waterfalls (think Costa Rica jungle).

Not sure what ok for you is but here's a chart that might help you out.

With a 10MP original file, rest assured you can pretty much print is as big as you want. I used to make large prints taken with 3.2MP cameras and they looked great. Heck, we even had prints as wide as a building for some promo events that were made from 2MP files... :lol:

If you're planning to print on canvas it won't be at 300dpi anyway so no stress. Even on the best paper you would get fantastic results on prints 6 feet wide!

I shoot with a slightly obsolete dSLR that has 7.5MP and I have zero issues having the photos in full page coffee-table books.

Yup! If the photo is reasonably sharp you can print ... AS BIG AS YOU WANT!

I've had printed life size photos of people from my 8 Megapixel DSLR and it was fine.
