Brent, that is something that many people overlook. I have a stockpile of "vintage" Nikon DSLR's in my cabinet at work that date back to May of 2000. It's mind numbing when you think of what a Nikon D1 cost back then....and how many variations we've gone through to get to where we're at now with the D3.
