All my comments in this thread are related to 35mm equivalents only.
Many critical photogs don't think that 35mm is suitable period for over 11x14. I tend
to agree.
Certainly not for 20 x 24.
Again, only speaking of MP equivalent to 35mm here.

Again, I feel that 12-16M "good" pixels is realistic equiv to 35mm film. So you can
use files of this
size to pretty closely equal anything that you can with 35mm...
