Depends on how close you want to view... For advertising billboards, the pixels can be as big as a tennis ball and it would still be ok. For your home however, the viewing distance is probably not that far.

Let me give you a tip: it's probably a lot more than 16 MP. In other words, no 35 mm camera today can give you wall size enlargements that you'll be happy with.

The DPI of the printer has nothing to do with how large a photo can be blown up. You cannot make a large good photo if the original image does not have enough pixels. 1.25 MP is tiny, even handphones have more than 1.25 MP these days. It's good only for 4R prints.

I have seen an advertisement for a company that does wall to wall type of photos. Very elegant touch. The name of the company is Letchford.
