Nikon's improved D70, price increased??
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? -Rich |

These prices are from Simon's Cameras (Montreal) web site:
Rebel XT body only - $1149.95 D70s body only - $1129.95 Looking at the kit price is misleading, since the Nikon's kit lens is *much* better. "RichA" wrote in message ...
