The acceptable dpi resolution depends on a number of variables, including the image source and final print size versus viewing distance. In my (now considerable digital) experience, prints from my "old" 10D and now my 20D, depending on the subject matter, look good at sizes up to 20 x 30 inches. Stepping up the "resolution" via Photoshop CS's Image Size, Bicubic Smoother interpolation sometimes helps, but is not always necessary. The absence of aliasing and blurring of film grain turns out to be a big help. But missing from this conversation is the old viewing distance variable. The actual resolution may be 100 dpi, but viewed from 3 feet away as is common for large prints, it makes little or no difference.
