Past tense. They used to. Basically it was an N80 with a f/f sensor - for five grand? It was less at the end, but it's not the camera for everybody. And apparently not enough, either...Originally Posted by Speed
Canon has some advantages and Nikon does too. I'm still using my Fuji S2 which is almost ancient by today's standards. I'd like to upgrade it, but not enough to part with the cash - nothing looks that good just yet. If the D70 had a better viewfinder, maybe - but I think before too long that a D200-like camera will be in that price range.
I have to put in a plug for Fuji, too. My sensor died, and they fixed it free. I'm guessing that the repair would normally cost at least what the camera's worth on the used market but they admitted that there were a bunch of bad sensors and stood behind them. I bought it new 2-1/2 years ago, so it's 1-1/2 years out of warranty. Apparently it's sitting at FedEx here in town too, after Fuji only having it for less than a week. Top that! Look for a big public thank you to Fuji here in Viewfinder after I pick it up...
