Using an M8 has shown me that you don't need 12, 16 or even 21  
megapixels to get a clear big prints.  Leica attributes this to  
removing the anti-aliasing (AA) filter, minimal software manipulation  
of the image and great lenses.  I found a company that will remove  
your camera's AA filter and if desired - convert it to an IR camera.   
Here are the explanations for these services where you can "hot rod"  
your digital camera (their term):

Interesting reading.  I have no financial connection with this company.
