1.4 Megapixels will print up to 8x11 with quality acceptable enough for home use, 5x7 is great

Hmmmm, I really have to disagree with that. I had a 1.4MP camera, and it produced pretty bad 5x7's. I can't imagine how bad it would have looked on an 8x11. But maybe the quality has just advanced since then...
