ok just looking around, and found this
its a Nikon D1H 2.7mp dslr. Its going for $500+, now im just curious... why is a 2.7mp dslr going for $500+ When i got my XT for $800? and you can get 300D's for not alot more than that 2.7mp would go for? |

Well probably because it cost 4,500 New.... guys looking to make 18% of what he paid for it?
It was Nikon's Top of the Line dSLR at the time of release. The D2 being the now "recent" sucessor. There were a coupel variations of the D1 though. The D1H released for 4,500. The D1x was 5MP and i could see maybe that catching your eye a bit more?
Sadly the 1995 Kodak DCS460 based one the NIkon N90 body was 6.2 MP!
Why Pay 25,000 for a restored classic mustang that has an original spec v8 engine with only 170 hp when i can drop that 25,000 on a 2007 Mustang V6 with Pony Package that has 230 HP....

| lol but you see my point? The 5,500 Dollar version that was 5 MP would probly fetch the 500 dollars for someone looking to spend it. But I see your point on the resolution. JUst understand the D1H was the D1x's cheapo model in a sense. The guy paid alot for it new he sees only what he thinks its worth to get rid of it. Not what its worth use wise. |

Plus it has a 35-70 2.8 Nikon lens with it. Not a bad price considering the glass involved.

| All this gear has gone the way of the music gear. You pay $2000 and a year later somebody will give $100 for it. Don't buy gear as an investment that is for sure. The latest and greatest will be surpassed by cheaper and better. |

Certainly true of digital camera bodies and point and shoots, less true for lenses. There is innovation and new models come along, but a good lens is a good lens.
