Digital BW, The Print

Steve-

I have Nikons, but from what I read about the D30, you will  be quite 
happy with the results ... especially up to letter sized prints... 
After that, lighting, lens, etc will need to be critically correct to 
continue to produce excellent prints (but what else is new?).

You might want to check out the http://www.fredmiranda.com site This 
guy is a developer who favors Canons and has a number of plugins for 
sale that improve the banding issues on D30s and has some other very 
useful plugins (I've used all of his Nikon ones and I'm pretty happy 
with them).

There is a lot of religious arguments about Genuine Fractals. 
Consensus seems to be not to bother with it until you are printing 
larger than 11x17 (Photoshop resampling seems to be slightly 
different but just as "good" up to this size). For larger upsampling, 
GF has serious fans.
