Yes, if it's a tiny compact, I'd think it may go up to 14x21 on a very good day (base ISO, tripod, no dynamic range problem etc. etc.) but I would certainly not rely on it to make prints that size on a constant basis. Heck, I would think that on a consistent basis, a good 11x14 is about all you can hope for.
