I've used the Kodak CD a few times. The pictures come out pretty good. They are sized something like 1280x768, so a pretty good size. I also have a really good (although old) 35mm camera, a Pentax K1000. From my understanding, to get a SLR digital capable of the same great pictures of a 35mm, you have to spend alot of money. But, I guess it depends on what your using it for. I thought about investing in one. Think of all the money you save on film and processing costs.
