My friend Sandy is starting to look for a DSLR. She has an old Nikon AF 35mm
(a 2020) and some AF lenses plus a couple of MF lenses. My suggestion is that
she start out with a cheap used DSLR to learn what she really needs. In the
best case, she'll find out that a $200 used camera fits her needs, in the worst
case she'll decide she needs a D700, but would at least skip the intermediate
stage of buying an $800 D5000 kit from costco, and finding out it doesn't fit
her needs. She may find out that the D5000 would work, but in a couple months
the $800 kit should be down to $700.
I'd normally recommend Pentax for people on a budget, but since she already has
a bunch of Nikon mount glass, she's probably better off not switching.
If anyone knows of something that might interest her, I've cc'd her on this

Larry., I still have a D1, D1H, D2H and the D200.
I have often toyed with letting the D1 go.
What is a D1 worth?
Based on how fast digital equipment depreciats I'd put the price between
$150 and $250 US, if you can find one for sale. At that price it's
really not worth selling. It's a bit like owning a old beater of a
car. If it runs it's worth more than you can probably sell if for.
