Old Technolgy
I see where this camera is selling used for $2000. Lets face it. This was a great camera 6 years ago but $2000?, no way. Time has passed it by. I realize it's built like a tank and has a fast burst rate but in every other way a new $600 DSLR is superior. In my opinion if you pay more than $500 you're wasting your money, unless you're a collector maybe. The IQ can be matched in most ways by a new P&S camera.

Speed of this camera will blow you away.
I know it has only 4 MP sensor, but pro autofocus, 8.3 FPS, pro body with weather sealing, built in hand grip. Put a fast lens on it and I seriously doubt any of today's camera will focus any faster. Just a touch on the shutter button and 45 points come into action and in AI SERVO MODE it is impossible to loose your subject. A regular camera you just fun with, but this one you have fun but times 5.

anyone that would give this camera a two
Any one that would give this camera a two, obviously has never had one, I have a canon G9 and no way that this very great point and shoot begins to compare with my 1D, well maybe in ease of carrying. Is it worth $1,500 probably not, but then I paid $450 for my G9. This is one awesome camera and you need to experience it to know how great it is. I have taken photos at 1600 ISO that were very usable with this old technology.
