Very interesting "paper". I'd also like to understand how much resolution do we need for large enough prints. I love printing 40x60 (cm) or 50x75 (cm) on high res forex or high dpi paper. And sometimes I need to crop my pics so that the actual printing area is 20mp, scaled down from 28mp. I usually feel that at those sizes the sharpness I get is very good, both with s lenses and primes. What do you think about this?

No idea. Printing is an area where, while I have some knowledge I have little experience. Imaging Resource actually incorporates a review of prints in their review process, so you may find that useful. http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/samsung-nx1/samsung-nx1-image-quality.htm#print-quality  As a starting point personally, for my cropped shots I would scale their sizes by the same amount as the crop.  I do have a few shots I intend to print when I get around to it.  Like this one that took me months to finally put online even:

Actually this one is a 5DSR shot, but my point is that I'm slow to get them from the camera to display/print.
