Hello Old Dad, I would save my cash. 3-3.5 is a lot of pixels, If I'm not mistaken however, the more mega pix's the larger the final image can be printed. Believe it or not five hundred would not be a bad price for 5 megs.... I called my camera a "Figital " for good reason, because of the computer aspect of these things their capabilities are awsome and at times greatly confusing...... It's still "What's Upfront that Counts", the primary glass lense will greatly determine the final product. Sony, Olympus, Nikon and Canon are still names to be trusted. Instead of mega pixels I would consider weather resistance, lense changing and wether or not there is a Hot Shoe for an auxillary flash . A remote control for the camera is very useful.....With your backround in graphic arts you may find the extra megapixels worth the money but you will be amazed with what you have with "just " 3-4 megs worth...... Take a surf on the web and see the reviews on some of these camera's, Digital Photography will bring you lots of good results and reviews. Good Luck and Enjoy! Oh yes, be sure that the memory cards are commonly available and that the batteries are also easy to get when you need them, these little beasts eat them like peanuts !
