Wow, I am really jumping in here late. Just the word Nikon sounds expensive to me, so if anyone is still looking for a camera, I have had great luck with the Sony Cyber-shot 3.2 mega pixels. The mega pixels is the main feature to look for. If you want any images to remain "fine" you should not go lower than 3.2. Unless you are a professional photographer and might be shooting for outdoor, this format should work great.

Regarding printers: I was going to link you to the greatest software for color inkjet printers, but just saw they no longer support it. If you have an Epson or other more commercial type printer (mine is an 1140) try to locate a copy of "StyleScript"; this is a knock-off of postscript ripping software for printers. You cannot tell the difference between a color laser and an inkjet with this software, images look wonderful, color is good; not print proof acceptable but comp-wise it is great. The only drawback is it really slows down the proccess.

Remember when printing, regarding paper choices, most people do not realize they must go in and select the paper they are using based on the print quality and color matching selected... there are a number of choices, plain, photo, matte, glossy, card, etc. If you run a nice glossy photo paper with it set to plain, you are not going to get as good resoulution.

Good luck!
