Canon Eos 10d Digital Slr Camera

I've been working with a film camera for years and now want to try digital. I can't buy the latest Canon out there, right now. Help?!

honestly, i'd go for a nikon D200 or D80. they're are better value. but if you really want a canon i'd go for the 300D

Canon 10D & 24-85mm F/3.5-4.5 Lens Animation Version 2 Presented by: Matthew Farrell Michelle Pang Michael Tom University of California ...

I've had the 10D recommended repeatedly but I see it is no longer available. The 20D runs $2000 with lens. I'd like to spend $800-$1100.
Can someone recommend an alternative to the 20D in that price range?

Thanks
Now I'm confused; This camera is almost $2000:

What on earth are you talking about?, the 20D was discontinued years ago and sells on eBay for about $500 or less!! (where on earth did you get the idea they are $2000??)

The alternative for your price range is the Canon 40D

Do not bother with the 10D, lovely cameras but difficult to find one these days with a low shutter count and they are incompatible with EF-S lenses.

Additional: That must be mistake, the price is completely wrong. I also notice that it is not Amazons price, it is 'Wall Street Photo's' price, selling through Amazon. You can buy a 50D and 70-200mm f/4 L lens for that price. Forget about the 20D completely, it is either a typo or they are trying to rip somebody off. look at the 40D or the 50D, the price the 40D is going for now is excellent, check out B&H for better prices (and 100% trustworthy)

This is the seller's description.

"Canon EOS 10D Digital SLR
Current bid: $350.00
Megapixels: 6MP

I purchased this camera new in 2003 to travel around the world. It has been a great camera to own and use. The build quality is stunning being a huge step up over the plastic EOS 300D.

The shutter was replaced by Canon NZ after it failed in 2004 and I have had no problems with it since.

Included with the package is
- EOS 10D Camera
- Canon Software disk
- Neck Strap
- 2xBP511 Batteries
- 1xBP512 Battery (same capacity different shape)
- USB Cable
- RCA Cable
- Manuals
- Original Box
- 512mb compact flash card

The camera is in good condition."

A 10D is way too old to pay anything more than $100 for what's being offered - it doesn't even come with a lens. I wouldn't even pay $100 for it, that's the sort of thing that gets traded for an xbox or something. That isn't a package, it's what came with the camera. If you are flat broke and you absolutely need a camera, than sure go ahead. But if you can add another $300, you can get a camera that is far more advanced with double the resolution, with a lens.

P.S. My D80 isn't worth $350, and it's a better camera. A dealer offered me $270 for it, if I upgraded. Older digital technology isn't worth crap these days. Film cameras actually hold better value. So there you go.
