What kind of resolution do you think it takes to do a very good 4 x 6 print? I could show you some printed on an HP PhotoSmart 100 that were made with a Fuji DX-10, a 0.85MP camera. That's the print size most APS shooters get and I doubt if you could tell any difference in quality between the Fuji DX-10 and the APS of your choice at that size.
I always thought it took 5 or 6 MP digital cameras to make a decent 8 x 10. Now I know that a Canon D30 can do very good 11 x 14 prints, with a good printer.
