Two countries divided by a common language... Bites as in, mind the teeth,
they're sharp.

Really, where? In the rose detail? More than the film grain noise?

Didn't compare D30 and film. In any case, there are even more variables in
colour rendition than in sharpening!

I wasn't meaning to criticise the D30, per se, just interested that,
combined with my lens, it doesn't apparently do any better than the G1,
which therefore diminished my personal interest, given the price tag
attached. When the 6Mpixel, full frame sucessor to the D30 drops to the
kind of price an EOS 3 is now, I'll probably get one!

You're right, the level of sharpening applied by default may well differ,
and unsharp mask on the D30 image does make the images more comparable,
though there still seem to be details in the G1 image that aren't there in
the D30 version.
The real message here is that it is astounding how good the 3Mpixel cameras
like the G1 are, even if in theory 35mm can deliver far more. I'm slightly
nervous to do a comparison with my beloved 100-400L!
