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.
