If I am not going to ever print anything > 8x10, does it make sense to get the highest # of megapixels I can?

Scubatooth:perfect example is some of the professors at my college shoots with a d70 and came in with some small prints a couple of weeks ago that were absolutly amazing as there was detail in the image with my face a couple of inches from the print, it was amazing. he even had some of the anti digital professors completely amazed.
oh btw small prints for this instructor are 16x20, these were 24x30's
FWIW

Well put! Unfortunately, my photos also rarely approach the camera resolution.MacHeath:In my experience (OK I may be rubbish at taking photos!!), the actual quality of image is not limited by the number of pixels in something like 95% of the pictures I take.
Most of the time there is not enough light, i.e I need to invest money in a bigger strobe.
A lot of the time either the camera or subject moved, blurring the photo. I.e. I need to hold it more still, or invest money in a bigger strobe so I can use a faster shutter.
