I agree with Red: catch lights are a mess, but that is the only detail. otherwise it might look like a painting and over processed.
yea there is no way of telling what gear was used and who cares when the model is showing us so much more.

The photos above have some amazing details!!!
Here's a photo I came across when researching a 70-200mm SSM G that amazed me with it's sharpness. (Taken from Dyxum.com)

(I ended up buying this lens! )

I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that I can't judge the detail that is resolved in a given image by looking at it on an electronic display. I'd try printing some of the images that have been posted, but I don't know the source colorspace. Anyone got any hints or tips?

My gut feel is that you are absolutely correct, but I guess I need convincing. 
I cheaped out on the D300 because $10k plus was just too much to spend on equipment that I wasn't fully convinced would meet or exceed my highest expectations (lol, lack of talent aside, I still appreciate fine prints and enjoy giving it my best shot). Any good examples that might help push me over the edge of indecision?
