That was what the D300S cost back in 2008, and I doubt that, other than
old new stock, you would find a new one today. That is an exploitive,
opportunistic price for a 10 year old camera. In the digital
photography world the D300S, while still capable, was old 6 years ago.
A used D300S in good condition, depending on vendor should run
$300-$350. $1600 is what a used D500 in good condition should cost.
> A little too steep for a retired guy like me...but you take good pics.
I retired back in 2009, and photography is one way I keep myself
occupied. I have spent about $9,000 on cameras, lenses, and other
photographic stuff, including software, since I retired.

There is nothing wrong with using that, provided you are happy with the
results, from the camera, and your own skills.
