Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

What I am about to ask is very controversial and has been debated in 
this forum many times. So, please forgive me in advance.

I am strongly considering a DSLR.  What are some key features to 
look for in a DSLR as it relates to Black & White.

My style of photography is people and photo journalism. I also like 
to shoot landscapes.  I like to make large prints (up to 16x20). I 
print with an Epson 2200.

Since this forum is dedicated to printing, please suggest an 
alternate forum if this question is irrelevant to this group. Thanks 
in advance for your help.
David
