Frank,

Crop? Careful, that's almost as inflammatory as "UV Filter"! :-)

Very true.  It is the algorithms used in the printing process that make
this
possible....

But if you are going to crop, pixel count is very helpful.

Pixel count is overrated. I saw a 24x36 inch print from a 2.1 MP camera.
D1, maybe. It looked great. Up close it wasn't ultra sharp. But viewed
normally, it looked fine. Apparently some software magic had been
applied. As a photograph it was impressive.
