Most any of the DSLRs out there will print 16x20, provided you don't get overzealous with the crop tool.

I'm not interested in full frams as I don't believe I'll need to go that far.
I'm thinking along the lines of a Canon 40D or 50D and adding a 5DMII further on in the future.
If you have suggestions along those lines in regards to Nikon...please...share!
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

If you like the Canon options more, then buy Canon. Everybody is different.
The double-digit bodies aren't a bad choice, but you may want to look at a used 5D (not mark 2), if you really want to do portraits. As with any camera, the lenses will make the difference. I'm not intimately familiar with Canon's lineup, but I'm pretty sure they have some primes that will do well for you no matter your body choice.
