Jane,
IMO, you won't find one that has high enough resolution for what you want.
I have been shooting digital for over 6 years now, and for the type of
resolution/size you want, you will need to plan on spending 2-3000 dollars.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but unless you plan on stitching images
together, you will be disappointed.
Anyone else can feel free to chime in and give you recommendations. I'd
love to be proven wrong, but unfortunately in your case, I don't think I am.
Good luck with the path you choose!
:)
