Personally, Camera Berry would be great to have for those times you don't carry a camera, but if the photo is something that you know ahead of time will mean something, then bring a higher res camera.

With the new PhotoShop plugin software called BlowUp, you can make relatively good looking 8x10" prints from even a 0.3 megapixel image:

It resizes images much more sharply than bicubic/bilinear, by keeping edges fully sharp. It's hard to tell even at 400% size increase -- also useful for printing 3 megapixel images to billboard-size posters. (yes, really)
Here's some impressive examples of the graphics processing capability of BlowUp:

There's a trial version. Downsize, buying this PhotoShop plugin from this well-known PhotoShop vendor costs $199.
With this PhotoShop plugin, sometimes it is possible to make a 1.3 megapixel images look better than 6 megapixel images (Assuming good lighting conditions, similiar lens, and low noise, of course) - the interpolation is really impressive.
