I use a D100, and print with a 1280, and I've printed BO and hextones
using MIS VM.  Yes, you can get good 8"x10" prints and larger, even if
shooting in jpg mode.  I'm not sure I'd say it's necessarily better than
medium format, but it will definitely compare well to 35mm scans, and
some do feel it compares to medium format.  Buy a D100 or S2 Pro and you
will be amazed at the results.  Keep in mind it's not film, so there's
no grain and the subtleties of tone are different than that of film, but
you have so much control of the image and it's so much more convenient
you'll probably be hooked like many others before you.  I shoot mostly
people, and I feel there's no compromise for me at all using the D100.

Thanks,
