help
I am an painter, not a photogragher and I need a new camera for shooting my art for reproduction into fine art prints. I know I need at least 14 megapixels, great image and color quality and something super easy to use. I pretty much use auto settings. With a $800.00 budget which camera would you recommend?
24 megapixels would be nice for larger images, is it worth the extra$$$

PS For years I have had used 8" x 10" transparecies and scanned them , but I find I get better color from a digital camera and natural light. large format trans seems to be going the way of the dodo bird.
