Yes, it IS very sharp...but...there is a caveat.  If you actually compare
the image to a film image of the same thing, it is lacking in detail from my
experience.

We shot some images of coats (fur, windbreakers etc.) which had a lot of
texture detail in them...the D30 was perfectly sharp, as you are
exclaiming...but the detail of the coats was just not there in the digital
images to near the level it was on film.

That makes sense, since the D30 doesn't have near the resolution that film
does, but resolution doesn't mean it isn't sharp as a tack...if not sharper
;-)
