The D1x, D100, 1D, 10D, D60, Fuji S1, S2 are still great performers. The D1x being the oldest is still a much in demand camera, even with the D2x coming out maybe in a few months. Problem with the Fuji's is that the body cracks up after a couple of months/years. Prices used on the D1x are right under $2000 D100's are at $1000 so the D70 did not hurt it too much in the used department. Even a "old" camera like the 1D goes for $2000. With the Digital R back, you do not have to go out and get another new back/body, you just add another chip to it.
