Have you checked the Canon PowerShot G1/2/3/4/5? The Olympus 30x0 series? The image quality of each of those that I've tested seems perfectly adequate for any situation where I'd consider using a 35mm camera without using flash. I haven't looked at the Nikon CoolPix 5700 in detail, but a preliminary look at the images my neighbour has prodiced on his suggest that it is a contender. I wouldn't take a P&S digital if I wanted to end up with 24x16 prints, but I've seen some pretty good 8x10s produced using only a 3MP camera.
