Interesting - even our highest quality 10mp JPEGs aren't good enough? I'm curious, because at [[WP:FPC]] we've generally considered that featured pictures should be big (heh, minimum 1000px) to allow them to be printed. It sounds like that's really nowhere near enough.
It's not just about resolution; RAW can be "developed" into different images with different settings to suit different purposes. For example, you might want to change the white balance or the colour balance to better suit print use. Of course you can alter a JPEG or something in the same way, but not without losing information.
