refhttp://forums.clubsnap.org/forumdisplay.php?f=20 there're ppl selling Nikon D100 Canon 10D ? But all above ur budget. even Fiji S1Pro or S2Pro are above ur budeget 2nd price: Nikon D100, around $2000 Canon 10D, not sure S1Pro, around $1300 S2Pro, around $2000 my personal advice is to wait D70, and by then all price might drop. or get one 2nd hand G2, G3 F717 Dimage 7i,.... for around $500-$800 and play play first. or follow blank's good advice. :)
