Did Nikon raise the price by about $250 over the old
D70? If so, was this so they wouldn't have to make
the price of the new D50 too low?
Reason I ask is the Rebel XT is available in Canada
for around $1299 Can. ($1050 U.S.) but the Nikon is
$1599 Can. or $1300.00 U.S. I thought the old D70 and
new Rebel were priced the same?
