It depends on the printing resolution.
3008 X 2000 pixels full frame.
If printed at:
300 DPI= 10" X 6.67" (Best)
200 DPI= 15" X 10" (Good)
150 DPI= 20" X 13.33" (Fair to Passable)
72 DPI= 41.78" X 27.78" (Looks very bad)(This is screen resolution)

To see what you can expect, try Wayne Fulton's printing calculator.

Wouldn't the real question be 'How far away you intent on standing while
viewing the photo' then?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

OK, I would print an 8'x10' billboard with a 6.1mp camera if viewing
from one mile away.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
