Based on our own serial number list, Nikon bodies are more common. The list currently contains 43 Nikon bodies, compared to 17 Fujix bodies, making the Nikon versions approx. 2,5 times more common.

I haven't done any statistics, but I think prices are approx. the same, regardless of brand. The Fujifilm version has a huge Nikon label on the front, and vice versa, so most people can't really tell the difference. And it doesn't really matter. After all, it's the same camera sold by two different companies.

Normal eBay price? Depends. Typically, in the $200 - 300 range. Sometimes more, sometimes less. The cheapest one I've seen was sold for $113 (a Nikon E2N sold in February 2007).

You can't always compare prices since the cameras are sold with (or without) a charger, memory card, lens, etc.

Hope this helps.
