NOW I just want a 'good camera' to take

I've got an Optio Wp I carry in my vest, and it's a handy camera but I'm not
sure the optics are up to the kind of prints you want to make. Above about 4MP
or so it's more about the optics than the sensor, and I'd look at the Nikon
Coolpix line or some of the Canon models - I think they've got the best optics
of the 'shirt pocket size' group. fwiw

FWIW, based solely on personal experience, between what I've personally
owned, as well as what friends and family have, I've not noticed a
tremendous difference in _image_ quality among the "majors" in the 4-5
MP range PnS/shirtpocket models.

My comments are based on PnS cameras I have owned.

Fair enough. I've just not noticed much if any difference among a
moderately large group of cameras (both mine and others') as far as
their images and prints from those images. I'd offer that the camera's
owner is not all that important in such a review, but YMMV.
