Folks,
Soooo... I can probably pick up a used ist D for
$700-800, looking at the recent prices on eBay and
KEH.
Worth it?
You can (theoretically) get a new, warrantied DS/DS2 for that.
Which to get depends on what is important to you. I'm very
happy with the two-wheel style of control on the D (which is
just like that on the PZ-1 bodies), and also wanted the grip.
Shel & Godfrey, though - both photographers who demand a lot
of control over their cameras - are happy with the one wheel
(and a shift button) style of control. The larger screen,
and the smaller RAW files, are other benefits of the DS models.
So going digital is worth it - the real question is whether to
go with a used D or a new DS. Only you can make that choice.
Doesn't the D have a metal chassis while the DS/DS2 are plastic?
