24mm (35mm full frame equivalent) is 16mm on Nikon, 15 on canon. The Nikon 12-24 is similar to the Canon 10-22, the 16-18+ zooms are not quite in that range, and the good ones are quite expensive.

I don't want them to be thinking the rooms are much bigger than they are and feel 24mm gives a good middle ground.

I added the DSLR to what you wrote just to make sure I understand.
I don't really need a large range if its going to take away from my goal of getting the same amount of space that my 24mm gets.

You are reading it right. For interior architectural work, you seem to be getting by with 24mm but most pros doing that kind of work like to get wider.

I also have a friend that is going to help me once I get the camera but I can tell or feel in here I will get the best help in choosing a camera.
She recommended the Canon 20D

Here's a sample shot someone posted claiming their P&S looks bvetter than a 20D:

The compact is more contrasty & saturated (might look better reduced) but the detail is all smeared & the highlights are blown. That's a rather extreme example but a DSLR will really provide better quality in the ways demonstrated there.

I loved looking at your pictures that you posted with different camera's.
if I had a wish I would love to see a picture taken with my camera on a tri-pod
and the same exact picture taken with a $2,000 DSLR set up. I might be able to do $2,500
I would love to set up a site to show you the pictures I am taking and some of the problems I am having.
I also work with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0

some places have beautiful gardens right out the window and when I get the room just right I am unable to see out the window
it just looks like lol I big shiny light from heaven.

You can take two exposures & merge them manually or with the HRD function in full photoshop. That is asking a lot from a camera. Flash could help too but as I said, easy to make a mess with flash.
