Megapixels vs. Printed Image Size?

Looking for information on exactly that.

What size is your camera in megapixels? What is the largest image you have had printed from it? How did they turn out?


Also, is there any type of chart or guideline on approximations for megapixels to printed image size? I realize it won't be the same across all cameras/brands, but I'm looking for a starting place.


Thanks!

My Camera: one pixel of awesome

printed off an 11x14 once from a 5mp and it doesn't look all that bad. it is a landscape/sunset photo so clarity wasn't a priority but doesn't look grainy on a matte finish
