jay_horton1 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 My prediction: D30's will be $5-600 within two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirfish Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 You can get a great deal on a D30 on ebay for $2000 is you want it now.... LOL ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I'll take one of the $5 ones. In fact I'll take two. Where do I send my $10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly_flanigan1 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I paid 650 bucks for 16 Megas of Ram once; can we trade for a camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyDigs Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Yeah, I feel for ya. I paid $400 for 16MB of 70ns RAM in 1996! Now its $50 for 512MB. Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_nitsche Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I have a D-30 and plan on keeping it. I just pre-ordered a 10D and will use the D-30 as a backup or use if for purely web based activities (images for web sites). I don't know if 5-6 will happen. I know it will eventually, just not sure in two months. I think most like me would rather keep it than sell it for that. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan_dowling Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Even the upgraders will keep their D30's as backup cameras. Why? They still use the same lenses, batteries, and compact flash cards and they still take great pictures. They're also not very heavy. Even for an amateur going on vacation, an old D30 would be a great backup for a new 10D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirfish Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Yeah..I seriously doubt anyone would be willing to take that much of bath on the sale of a used D30. I doubt they'll be less than $900 before years end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobatkins Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 The sale price on D30s may be $900, but I don't think they'll be selling many at that price! I'm also not sure why you need a backup. I suppose in case of failure it's nice to have something, but since you can change ISO and effectively shoot B&W and color on one DSLR, the need for a second body is much diminished. With film I'd carry one body with Velvia, one with B&W film and one with medium/high speed slide film. No need for that with digital. I think I'm more likely to carry a film backup to my DSLR rather than a second DSLR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
continuity Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I'd buy a D30 right now for $500. (Instead I bought an Elan for $100) If (big IF) I had the money right now, and if I could get one in reasonable shape. I would foresee using it as sort of a "polaroid" back. That, and take photos with it ;) I think I'm being slowly seduced to the charms of digital... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nello Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Bob, I imagine people shooting with primes could still benefit from two DSLR camera bodies. I don't shoot digital (yet) but I know that I sometimes use my A2E and my Elan7E together with something like my 24mm and 85mm primes. It makes my life with primes a little easier.

bobatkins Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Possibly, though I've always found it easier (and cheaper) to switch lenses than carry a second body! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
