Shooting at maximum resolution lossless prints (300dpi) will be
2 Mp - 6x4
3 Mp - 7x5
4 Mp - 8x6
Thats the limit of most consumer point and prods.

They can be enlarged further, but the pixelation will become more noticable
8*6 = 48in2 10*8, the next size up is 80in2, so heading for half the resolution.

That said, it depends where you are putting it. A 10*8 in an album will look noticably more pixelated than one on the wall as you will look less closely and from a further distance at the one on the wall. This is why poster prints often look good, because you stand 4ft away when you look at it - it's not held at arms length.
