Mike, I see your point. I will actually be shooting mostly models and news - so mostly people. But I also shoot wildlife and a few scenics, though I hardly ever print those. And I don't think I've ever printed beyond 8x10 anyway, so I guess I'm on the right track so far in terms of equipment.

Am I right in assuming that 3 more megapixels wouldn't do much to increase the resolution? You mentioned that they wouldn't do much more than give me a "little wiggle room", but at what point - how many more MP - would I start to see a difference? Just curious.
