Dear Mark, None of the cameras I currently own, body only, exceed the $900 mark: Fuji GS645S (used), Contax G2 (used), Pentax Z-1p (new). Nor are any of the cameras I previously owned which forms a very long list. (Nikon FE2, FA, F3, F2AS, F70, F801s, F601, Canon EOS 100, 10s, 5, 630, Pentax LX) Maybe some of these costed more than $900 when new. If I put down my money for the *istD in fact it will be my first such camera. Alas, what am I doing and how did the manufacturers got me to believe that $1,000 for a DSLR is cheap ?
