Yep, we've touched on this before.

I clearly recall attending a trade event about 4 (short!) years ago.
The lab sponsoring the event knew that most of the (wedding)
photographers who would attend shot medium format and believed that
quality enlargements could not be made from digicams.  To win people
over they displayed dozens of 20x30 and larger matted prints that
looked terrific.  Each had a label in the corner identifying the
digicam that was used to make the image.  As we walked about and
looked at the prints I don't think I've ever heard the word "Damn"
uttered by so many people in one place in my life.
