I've not personally used the 5D for anything larger than a couple of
16x24s. Both were landscape type images with lots of detail and came
out fine. I have also seen several 30x40 images from a friend's 5D.
They also looked fine but were family portraits where detail was not so
important. A 30x40 detailed landscape image might be fine as well since
we don't stand so close to large images. But I've not tried it since I
have no place to hang such a large print.
