I not only still have my D30 (over 50,000 images!), but I use it for promotional catalog work in the summer time (I am a high school teacher during the non-summer months). D30 images can be rez'd up beautifully for full page images when needed.
The thing I always have found amazing is that people expect too much from their 35mm equipment. For 15 years I shot with 35mm film cameras (mainly Pentax LX - a MANUAL focus body) and never expected to create an image larger than 8x12. Therefore, I do not expect my D30 to print larger than 8x12. When I DID need high resolution shots, I used my Pentax 6x7. It bugs me when I hear people discussing upgrading their dSLRs because they want more MPs. MPs should be the lowest priority for most people.
I say all this, but I do think that I will be finally upgrading to the 1DmkII for next summer. Not for the extra MP, but for the better autofocus, better auto white balance, the improved flash algorithm, and the 1.3x crop factor - in that order.
Long live the D30!
