Well, you can wonder about it all you want, but that just the way things
go in the digital world. Old cameras get much older much faster. As one of
the best Canon dealers in Finland, I think he could have sold me a D2000 -
if I would even have wanted OR if they would get those from Canon anymore.
Maybe they could if somebody would want one. Like I wrote, magazines are
changing to D30, and Canon (not the dealer I spoke to) is not really
paying anything for a used D2000 anymore (so I doubd they are selling
lots of them through any dealer anymore...)
"Well since he couldn't sell you a D2000 what would he do..." - sell me a
D30 of course! Where did you get the Nikon-thing, or the "trashing" of
"something which is harder/more expensive to get"?!? I was, actually,
quite baffled about your comment... untill I realized that you have a once
expensive older digital camera. I would probably try to defend it myself
also. To give some credit to D2000, so it must be better built as it's
based on EOS 1N, maybe it can also give a few more frames at top speed
(just guessing here, but D30 is only about 3 frames/second or so), but it
seems that people are looking for the image quality more than
construction.
Personally I think I would be very happy with D2000 - but I would not buy
one now that the D30 is available. If you are a pro, then I think you
should use whatever tools you need. As a hobbyist like me, I think that
it's a couple of years still for a change from EOS 3 (+scanner) to digital
EOS.
Best regards,
Hugo.
