Now it is older ( oldest?) technology, and considered obsolete by the most of the marketplace. OTOH, it still does what it was designed to do... and if you can find a market for that, it still sells at market price. BTW, you use a R8+DMR I think to do your birding thing. Do you use Nikon/Canon at all for the same purpose? ( Digital capture of bird images).

Given what you bought the D1 for it was a good choice. The price you paid for it reflects not it capabilities but the much more limited market demands for its output (vs. when it was new). Doug Herr
