No.  You need a minimum of 6megapixel.  I shot a D1 for about a year and a
half and got many lovely 5x7 and some 8x10 that I was happy with though.
Don't expect to be able to crop...you need the full 2.7mp from the D1 for an
8x10.  Personally I wouldn't buy a used D1...the D1x was a quantum leap
forward in so many ways...not just image quality.  You may want to take a
look at the D100...that would almost certainly be a better option.
