Resolution: 3mp is plenty for enlarging to 8x10 (any need to go bigger?). I have done several 8x10's with a 2.1mp, but it has a nice big glass lense.
Prints: Best done by uploading (or bringing a disk in) to Walmart, Walgreens, or even Costco (I think). Same per-pic prices as 35mm, they will mail you the prints, and the quality is very high (I send mine to Walmart). No real need to spend the big bucks on printers and cartridges that are constantly breaking.
Camera: Better lense > bigger MP. Every time. Tyson has the formula down.
Ouch, two weeks pretty much leaves eBay out, huh?
