Digital BW, The Print

I also recently returned a Nikon 5000, for problems with the flash 
and also because of significant color abberrations between light/dark 
adjacent areas.

I purchased the Canon G2 instead, and it is a beauty of a camera.  I 
am printing up to about 13" in the long dimension on my Epson 1200 
(with color pigments) that are, IMHO, as good as prints from 35 mm 
scans from an Imacon scanner.

The Canon G2 is well designed, a pleasure to use, and has some great 
features. . . .  It's much better than any other "point and shoot" 
I've ever used, and is much closer in quality and experience to a 
Canon SLR, except that you have the immediacy of digital.
