Digital BW, The Print

Others have chimed in, but that has never stopped me from adding my 
own $0.02 worth ....

You are thinking ahead but I think you might be thinking a bit too 
far at this moment .... some of your questions indicate to me that 
you might not have a good handle on what is possible through digital 
photography.  

Before you buy a "good" camera, I suggest that use what you have to 
practice.  Use it a lot.  Since you want sepia and B/W, use the 
output from your S850 with a program such as PS Elements, etc., to 
play around. 

Remember, it isn't the camera that makes a photographer good - it's 
the photographer's skill and art.  

An example:  Way back when, in the late 60s/early 70s, I did some 
amateur underwater work.  I had a Nikonos II with all the accessory 
goodies.  I also had a Kodak Instamatic in a plexiglass housing.  
While I made some great shots with the Nikonos, I made equally great 
shots with the Instamatic.  I think it was because I didn't worry 
about the mechanics of the Instamatic - I just composed and shot.

Of course, FWIW, YMMV.
