"Well, you can wonder about it all you want, but that just the way things

Err, yes.. I have noticed that. I hope this isn't some perceived "out of
Ring III bias here":) The DCS-520s (D2000, term used interchangably here
throughout) were bought in England when I was in my (main) English office.
"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."
Hint. Did you TRY and order one. Actual fact: I wanted a second DCS-520
body at the end of November 2000. My preferred UK dealer - London Camera
Exchange in Southampton (CPS dealer, etc etc) checked with Canon to see if
they could sell me one. They could, at a price about £3000 (ex sales tax of
17.5%) for the Canon-boxed one compared to the Kodak-boxed one I got from
an equally reputable Kodak-pro dealer (Leeds DI)... but they'd have to
order from Canon Japan and they didn't know when (subtext 'if') they'd get
it.
"...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...)"
Do you have evidence for this, to suggest the widespread sea change. The
feedback I've had from the pro community is that while they are testing it
and many are using it, there is not a Damascian (sp) conversion to it for
what it is alone.
"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"
The DCS-520 still sells at a price point higher than the D30 (at least in
England) and people are still buying them as they meet specific
requirements.
"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.."
Weatherproofing, greater stability, compatibility with existing media,
power supplies, leads, better acquire software and integration into photo
production systems like Fotoware. Hmm, really unimportant reasons I'm sure
you'll agree.
I can't disagree with your last paragraph though.
