I have the first photo on this page printed 3 feet wide. It looks great, even close. Ben told me he shot it with a D700, so it's 120-ish ppi. I stopped counting pixels after that.

Billboards used to be printed from early digital cameras with 5mpx cameras. The quality hasn’t greatly improved.

Then again, there was a guy who used an aerial surveillance camera to make a box camera out of a box truck. He shot portraits onto 3ft by 4ft metal plates covered with a silver solution, and did developing inside the camera body of the truck. That was levels of resolution that are hard to fathom.
