What size canvas print can I expect from my picture

What size print can I expect?
Mobile phone cameras, especially earlier ones produce quite small pictures with less than 500 pixels in width and can usually only be blown up to around 16cm by 12. They are designed to produce good snapshots and were not meant to be create much larger prints. Three or four mega pixel cameras produce file sizes that allow prints up to approximately 24 inches and to produce much larger prints requires larger files still requires a photo with thousands of pixels. To produce a large canvas print 90 cms wide requires at least 3600 pixels which an 8 to 10 mega pixel camera can provide. However the mobile phone camera image size continues to increase and more recent phone have up to 8 mega pixel cameras in them which can produce large canvas prints.
