Berry, I've gotten reasonable quality prints from my Minolta DiMage S414, but there are a number of quality cameras out there now -- Oly E1, Pentax *ist (a friend just got one - impressive camera), Nikon D70, Canon's digital rebel. Check the reviews at dpreview.com or the commentaries at luminous-landscape.com. I'm waiting for Minolta's DSLR before deciding, since I have all Minolta glass at the moment.
I'm hanging on to my 6x6's and 645's though -- both for darkroom and scanning on the Epson 2450 (which I'll be upgrading soon). My trusty Polaroid 4000 takes care of the 35mm stuff.

Seriously, I'm thinking of doing just that. But the trouble is that they keep getting better so rapidly that I find I must keep waiting! The ones I find most interesting right now are the Olympus E1 and the Sigma SD10. But the one I want may be the combination of the two. The Fovian chip is exciting, but what would you have if Olympus combined that with the E1 4/3 thing? My thinking is that there would be fewer problems if one went directly from a digital image to paper rather than having to scan film. In theory, you would have eliminated one stage in the process, and that would be greater simplicity. The final product I seek includes ~12x18 prints on watercolor paper, using an Epson 2200....
