It's strange that you ask the very questions about large prints that I and a friend were wondering. I've done some developing and 35mm work, nothing like yourself though. Well I bought into digital right away with a really cheap Polaroid with flash. It was fun. Then bought my mother a lot nicer point and shoot.

But my friend and I needed a good digital camera for photos that might be needed for Court presentations. We descided on the Fuji SLR 7000. Not as pricey as the Canon, but nice enough for around $500-$700. Know for court, we often need 10X12's to show detail of damages without a magnifying glass. Judges can't see well after reading all day, and it helps.

My mother has Photoshop for her Mac. I am not that impressed with the need for all the tiny and slow changes it allows over the standard software bundled with the camera's. You could easily be satisfied with the results after getting used to your printer's "style". But get a nice printer now, and an excellant camera later. You'll be glad for it all later as you grow into the technique.
