Digital BW, The Print

Derek,

No criticism implied.  Just too expensive for me. These cameras are
amazing, and I'm sure Canon't 6 megapixel will be breathtaking. But
Those prices are just too high for me. I'm not making money using these
cameras, so I'll just have to be satisfied with the D30, which is
looking better every day. I can get very high quality 12x18 prints now,
and with genuine fractals coming tomorrow, I would think just a little
bit better than I get now.

Kai's Powertools Equalizer has worked miracles with D30 images, and they
are only about 9 megabytes!
Upsizing in photoshop, you don't lose a lot of quality, especially after
this sharpener is applied, but If I upsize in Genuine Fractals, I think
the quality will be even better.

Jerry
