Used DSLR values.

Hi, During a short period of eBay selling recently I have been perusing quite a few camera listings and it has struck me (along with valuations here) that used DSLR's, even quite elderly ones, still seem to command quite a strong value. Particularly Nikons it must be said as well as quite baffling model organistions! Though I have been surprised at what Pentax *ists go for still. The reason I'd be thinking about upgrading is that technology has improved the DSLR considerably even in the last couple of years and unusually for consumer type electrical products cameras still go for a premium. How would a Nikon D70-D80 compare to a Kx for a similar used price? Just find it interesting is all. Lens prices I can understand for good glass is desirable whenever it was made but the bodies?

They are both in anotehr class so hard to compare like for like.

The Kx has a better snesor for high iso but the D70 and D80 have so many other features it's hard to say which one is better.
I would go for the D70-D80 because it has more buttons making it easier to controll when shooting manual.

You should compare the D80 with a K10D, both are from the same period and are in the same class.
