... Why?

No, seriously, why?

What did you pay for it and, on a scale from 1-10, how silly do you think you're going to feel when you tell us?

Don't mind OS - just lie about the price

It's a valid question: A quick eBay search shows them hitting the $750-1250 range, though why I'll never know. For $1k, there are a LOT of better cameras to get nowadays, especially if you're willing to go used, as the OP likely is.

D70 is the better camera. The D2h might be a decent camera to use for an IR conversion or something like that. I got a cheap D100 for IR, total cost for the IR converted camera was around $400 (it replaced a much better IR converted D70 that was stolen in Tulsa).
