So I can't theoretically count the number of dots on a 35mm print and figure out whether or not it's equivalent to 640x480 or 1024x768?

I want to purchase a medium format camera. Something that can give me higher resolution than a 35mm SLR. I was wondering if I could just get an 8.1 megapixel camera and be done with.

I've recently discovered that I'd like to take landscape and maybe some nature photography. Basically my SLR is old, the shutter needs cleaning, and there's something wrong with the battery contact. My digital camera stinks and I think I'm done with the bloody thing eating batteries. Plus I don't want to become one of the Jones' by buying a Nikon D70 or a Canon Digital Rebel.
