I don't think there are that many bits from the Digilux 2!!! In any case, 
digital files scale up very well. I have a picture printed at 11x14 taken 
with the Leica, scanned at 4000 and printed at 360 DPI (so I was scaling 
DOWN) and then compared to a print of similar subject taken using the 
Minolta A2 at ~5MP resolution (it can go up to 8 normally) so it was 
upscaled from ~170 DPI to 200 DPI at the 11x14 resolution. At normal 
viewing distance, the Minolta print looks pretty good too. Obviously the 
details are not there and frankly I like the color better from my Provia 
slides but it really is not bad at all from 5MP.
