I doubt there is a lot of difference between nikon / canon / pentax. I'd go for the best value you could get, to be honest I have lost track on all the newer models out there.
(the new pentax K100d has had some excellent reviews)
If you are taking lots of holiday shots then fine jpg will be more than good enough for A3 prints. (more important to learn about exposure and making sure your using a fast enough shutter speed - especially for telephoto). Post processing hundreds of RAW photos will be a pain in the ar*e and you'd probably not end up with anything that much better than the camera does in-house.
