I use a general rule of thumb of 200dpi for very good print quality. Divide the number of pixels on each side by 200 to get your maximum print size. For example, if your picture is 2304 x 3072 then your largest print size would be 11.52 inches by 15.36 inches, so you'd choose an 11 x 14 print. I got excellent 5 x 7's with my old 2mp camera, and depending on how much detail there was in the shot even got some great 8 x 10's. There are software programs out there that will help you "upsize" your shots as well.
Edit: typo.
