Chelli, I'll give you my opinion. I am not familiar with the 3000, nor have I used either the Canon 100/10. But the 3000 is probably similar to the bigger Epsons. I've used the 3800 and mostly the 3880's. I'll tell you why I don't own one. First the Epsens are very good printers, as are all good printers.
What Epson has NOT been able to solve is the ink switching from black to matte black. Yes the newer ones have both tanks installed but still have to completely purge the line to make the switch as they use the same nozzles for both colors.
My first real printer was an Epson 2200 but I will not consider another Epson till that is solved.
The other thing that I don't like about Epson is that they seem to print dark. So I always seem to have to make one test print first to adjust the brightness which is a real hassle. Is it isolated? At school I've used 6 different 3880's and a few 3800's and they are all the same. Both the printers and the monitors are calibrated once per week.
The Canons don't have the ink switching problem and the 10 has an optimizing clear coat that fills the gaps between ink droplets which minimizes bronzing.
And if you happen to shoot Canon there can be some printer compatibility advantages.
As far as printing goes, I'm sure you can't tell a difference in print quality between the two brands. Just my personal experience. ;-)

It wouldn't be fair for me to make a recommendation, as I have no hands on experience with Epson printers. I started out with a Canon 9000, but switched to the 9500 Mkll when I decided to start selling my work and wanted pigment ink prints. I later added a 24 inch wide Canon ProGraf 6400 for larger prints. I stayed with Canon because I wanted all of my prints to continue to use the same ink set, and I was already used to the Canon printer interface. You can understand, I'm sure, that I have a bias toward the Canon printer.

I can say that a friend who also sells his work uses large Epson printers and they seem to do a great job, and the R3000 has certainly garnered its share of positive reviews.

Major difference is that the Pro 10 and the Pro 1 use pigment inks while the Pro 100 uses dye inks. The pigment ink printers have more black and grey inks. There are differences in wireless connections as well, but you can look those up when you look at reviews. The Pro 1 uses bigger ink cartridges than the Pro 10. All produce very good prints. If you are just printing for yourself, the Pro 100 is a very good printer for a good price, especially when Canon offers it on one of its rebate deals. The Pro 10 or Pro 1 using pigment inks, is a good choice if you sell prints or enter a lot of competitions, or simply want better archival life for your prints.

Some cameras, most notably Sony, can do it in camera - Sony calls it "Clear Image Zoom" (CIZ) - shot as JPEG only.

In post process, Adobe resizing programs use the default "bicubic" algorithms - where it is best to use the "bicubic smoother for enlargements" in 10% or less increments.

There are several dedicated post processing software programs that you have to pay for........

You may try a google search for "pixel enlargement" or similar.

This is a church at Schweidnitz near Breslau, the new Polish names are now Svidnice and Wroclav. After the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, the town became part of Poland according to the post-war Potsdam Conference in 1945. The German population who had not fled during the war were subsequently expelled to Germany and replaced with Poles. They changed the historical names to Polish and have so become unrecognizable as being of German origin, but the craftsmanship which the original natives have left there are now rich sources of Polish tourist trade, same as in the Czech Republic.

An Old Wooden Church In Poland. . .really something to see. This church is so beautiful, one has to wonder how you could possibly concentrate on the

service? This church had been built by Germans since this part of Poland had been German until WW II, when the Oder/Neisse line had been drawn. Details in this church are absolutely amazing. Take a good look. Use the pointers at the bottom of the picture to view, up and down and the + sign to zoom in — It’s incredible. Move your cursor around to see it all.
