Features vs Resolution
Discussion
Evenin' all.
Seeing as my D30 has finally gone "oh for fs sake" and stopped working, it's time for a replacement.
Being a poor student, my only option is an ebay special, and herein lies my question. Do i go for something newer and of a consumer ilk (D60, 300D) or something older of a professional ilk (Kodak DCS520 etc). I'm perfectly happy with the resolution of the D30 (3.something mp), and to be honest it's a bit too much as i never print. Seeing as my cackhandedness had already put pay to one DSLR i think a more robust one would be a good idea.
So from the point of view of someone who actually knows their arse from their E-TTL (i.e. you lot), features or resolution?
Also, any reccommendations of things i've not thought of to replace the D30 with would be welcomed

go for the newer ones - its not just the resolution that increases but the overall image quality.
for other options consider the Fuji range, although the S1 is a Nikon lens fit only (I think) and I assume you're looking for Canon? If not, the S1 is a really good camera, I started off my proper photography life with one, and I wouldn't say that the image quality was much behind a D1X/D100 etc. The only problem with Fuji cameras is that they need two sets of batteries, which is really stupid.
