Des,As i own the Canon D30 after trying it and deciding it was better for my work/useage than the Hasselblad 503CW kit, i miss the Hasselblad but LOVE the uability of the D30. Of course medium format film is MUCH BETTER than 35mm as in the comparison link you provided. Still, the D30 is VERY good and yes, you can easily bring it to 8x10 without problems IMHO. For print magazines you will probably see NO difference between the D30 and 35mm. Print magazines generally use only 150 line/inch. Even if they used 300 line/inch i feel that the D30 is superier as CMOS captures an image in a different way than film (plus add in the variables in developement of analog film).
i AM NOT saying the D30 equals or betters 35mm, but that the Canon D30 is a viable alternative to film for a profesional photojournalist IMHO. If you do web work as i do, analog film is worthless compared to the D30 usability.
Of course another factor not mentioed in the review (i believe) is that the quality of the lens can make a BIG difference. FYI: i use the basic Canon 28-135 f/3.5-4.5 IS USM lens for most things, but when i want true quality i go to my 70-200 f/2.8 L USM lens. Yes, you can see a difference between them on the D30'sm image output.
Just my 2 yen.
Enjoy the music,
