I just printed some 11x14 prints from my sd850. I'm not really all that impressed though. So i was wondering what would be a better print size, or whats the most anyone gas printed using this camera.

Well, by resizing the picture up, I've been able to get publishable 8-1/2x11" prints (at 300 dpi) from my old A80. I needed to carefully up-res, and do a lot of noise reduction and sharpening, but it's possible. That was a 4 MP camera; I have an easier time with the 6.3 MP from my D60, although I have to throw away a lot of those pixels to fit the print's aspect ratio. I also get fine 11x14 prints from an 8.2 MP sensor on my 20D.

With 8 MP from the SD850, I suspect that your problem was less the pixel count than other factors like noise or camera movement that show up much more at high magnifications. Does that sound about right?
