Also, have any of you used these internet companies that make prints and ship by mail? Thanks.

I know that he has a high MP D-SLR and was pretty skeptic about the quality compared to what he could do in his darkroom, he was pleasantly surprised with the results. He said that he shoots everything in RAW format and does post-processing in Photoshop. I know that you can get poster size prints of his from some of the sources he has listed. He rarely uses film much anymore.
I bought my 6mp camera in November and still haven't printed anything off it yet, I could still do an 11x17 with my 2mp and it wasn't too bad, not near as good as 35mm but considering what I was using it was better than expected, I pretty much tried to limit it to 8x10 size. I would imagine the 6mp would be that much better. I want to eventually get a D-SLR but just wanted a better P-N-S at this time.
I have an 11x17 inkjet (HP 9650) and a
Konica-Minlota magicolor 2530DL color laser printer, the laser is just great but the only problem is not as many photo types of papers are available for the laser. i have never used an outside printer.
