Yeah, but the digital Rebel won't be 2-3 years old in 6 months.
Nikon hasn't answered the Digital Rebel in the marketplace yet. I think the competition at the low end will be ferocious, as that is how the manufacturers get people into their lens lines. I think there is tremendous downward pressure on prices.
I actually sold my D60 AFTER the 10D was announced for $1500. Call me lucky, I guess.
I got a refurb, directly from a Canon employee, for $1k BEFORE the announcement... it came with 2 BP-511 batteries, a 340MB IBM MicroDrive and a PowerShot case for the batts and cards... and the box and all the other stuff that normally came with a D60.
The going rate now seems to be quite a bit lower.
As for the D30, you can't buy one of them for $500 either.
You can... and cheaper! I got a very nice used one from a fellow motorsports photog that moved up to a 10D. The shutter had just been rebuilt (it was showing the flash sync problem prior to that, Canon in Costa Mesa billed $150) but I paid $400.
