powershot G3 isn't exactly a looker! But for
pics smaller than 8.5x11, it takes great photos.

Properly printed, a G3 should be able to do excellent 8x10, and pretty
good 11x14. In the latter case, you might want to try resizing first to
300 DPI (or even 600 DPI, depending on the printer) with Lanczos
resampling.

Even at 8.5x11, you start to see pixelation with the RAW
photos on the G3. 11x17 would be too much, even with resampling.

Only if you're dot peeping the print. Print quality is subject to
viewing conditions and viewing distance. An 8x12 print under normal
viewing conditions and at normal viewing distance of 22" needs only 156
PPI for excellent results, which is only 3 MP. See
