I'd love to help -- as would others, I'm sure -- but I think we need some more info.

Are you printing these yourself, or having them commerically done? If you're doing it yourself, what type of printer are you using? What type of computer are you using (e.g., Mac or PC)? What software are you using to print your images?

I'm certainly getting stunning results at 11x17" (the largest size I've tried so far).

Cheers,
Courtney.

Sorry... it's late. You answered my first two questions in your original post. It would still, though, be helpful to know what type of computer and which software package you're using for printing.

hi Lorne!

it would help alot if you could give some ideas and specifications about the files, both old and new ones: resolution, size, output quality etc......

probably yopu might have those files still 72 dpi

this will not help but helps to see what you have done

It was left wide open with your first sentence.

I guess I'm not sure what you are suggesting. My first two digital cameras were a G1 and E-10 and to tell you the truth, I can't say that prints from my S2 are any better than those at the sizes you suggest. What I can do now is use great lenses, control the DOF and make larger prints. To me, these are worth the upgrade.
What kind of photography do you do?

Your 2500 provided enough resolution to get high quality prints from your printer at smaller print sizes. For a given print size, increasing resolution past the optimal resolution for your printer won't buy you any perceptible increase in detail since your printer can't render anything finer.

What you gain over your old setup is the ability to crop your shots and still retain detail, or to create larger prints with high quality.
