As I'm sitting here thinking about all of this. it just occured to me that financialy and feature wise that konica-minolta A1 p&s is really what I need with the possible exception of resolution. Since they are pretty dirt cheap, and they sell quite often on ebay. I think I will just buy one and take it to the church in question, take a few shots, have them printed and see exactly how they look. If I don't like the quality or how the camera works I'll just put it back on ebay and probably only loose a few bucks on the deal. Otherwise I'm going to go nuts trying to weigh all these pros and cons!!!
I'll post some shots and get some opinions here when I have some samples.
