You say for "film" people, and then mention digital in the same breath. I won't assume anything but what do you really mean? You can easily spend as much on a film camera as on an DSLR.
What are your needs ? What level of photographer are you ? What will you be shooting ? What do you hope to be shooting later on, if you're not doing so now ? All of these things are relevant to the end purpose.
If you're a beginner, I'd tell you to not be so quick to spend $2k, that's first off. I don't care if you have $30K to spend, it's not going to make you a good photographer if you're not one already. I'm already kind of guessing that you're not a pro, else you'd not be asking the question that you are.
That said, there are plenty of great deals to be had on lower priced DSLR's which will let you spend your money on better things such as glass (which is more important than a camera body in mostly all cases for even an intermediate photog level) and let you worry about better things such as how to master your craft (ie; composition, framing, lighting, subject interest, how to achieve proper exposure and UNDERSTANDING how exposure works in respect to aperture, shutter speed and ISO rating).
Believe me, people whom only worry about gear and are less concerned with the outcome of their shots usually wind up spending just as much time post processing their crappy photos because they couldn't get it right the first time around. I learned a heck of a lot by using an Canon S3IS which is a 'bridge' camera of sorts. Has full manual exposure control, which is what helped me learn a LOT. When I finally couldn't do any more with it, because it IS limiting, I moved on to an Nikon D300.
I decided on it after having used several significantly higher priced Canon's due to personal choice. Price wasn't one of them. That was a couple of years ago. And now, I'm ready to move a bit further, and go on to using a full frame sensor. The D700 fits my needs exceedingly well, but am waiting to see if Nikon releases its successor soon.
In any case, you should answer the questions I asked, as those things will help others assist you in a decision.
