Don't think so. It's 2 generations old!

Ckiang you are right... 2 generation old like our CP 950. Maybe should wait for the next generation Full frame DSLR or else wait till S2Pro price reduction..

Heh. My 950 is still alive and kicking, think the colours are still better than the later Coolpixes.

Well, strike 4D and buy a Kodak DCS14n lor. I don't think the S2Pro/D100 prices are going to drop drastically anytime soon.

Add another $800 and you get yourself a Brand New S2 Pro.

P.S. Come with Charger and Software, but CompactFlash not included.

actually i think it depends on the usage... if it's heavily used (like those used by the press), then the CCD might be fried already. about the price, i think can go down a bit more but it might be worth checking out. no matter what it's still a F5 body and those are built to last.

anyway, that's my 2 cents...

 

[rueyloon]

how much the charger will cost ? a few hundred ?

anyway I think still ok, if your use is not too demanding...

fps much faster at around 4,
image quality. err.....from what I read can be good, but you'll need to shoot in raw.
AF is definately faster, and there are way more customisable functions on it.

not to meantion a better metering system .......


think of it this way, you can probably get an f100 at 1.6K ? so for another 1K you get an f100 with a digital back.

but like simon said, 800$ more and you get an s2 pro hehehe

The charger I think will cost around $180.

$180 sounds a bit cheap for the charger, I'd check that one out.

You don't need to shoot with RAW all the time.

It's a good price, and it's a good camera even if it is 2 generations old. It's also the price of a camera 2 generations old.
In fact, I'm really interested in this camera...

And it comes from a seller in Bulgaria with 2 feedback points.

No way. This kind of eBay listing is almost certainly a scam. Its only possible saving grace is that the seller claims to accept escrow payments, but I really doubt that that will be the case. Caveat emptor.
