There are many reasons why you may want to upsize the file Don. However my brother uses a 300D and takes his pics at 1600 pix wide His thinking is that as he only ever has them printed to 6x4 there is no need to take them any bigger. There is little point in me trying to explain to him

If you want to have large images printed then you may need the extra file size
The extra file size may allow you to edit them more easily, or crop them to maintain a decent print size
Most reputable stack libraries ask for 40mb files these days. They allow upsizing but no sharpening.
