Very true. Bodies, and even lenses to a lesser extent, are technology goods. Newer and better models are always coming out. Pushing down the value of yester year's cameras. Will you be using this camera body in ten years? Will you even worry? How much will it cost to replace?
I'm currently using a 1942 vintage Leica IIIc as my primary camera. I also use a 1935 Bessa, 1928 Bergheil, 1914 Kodak Special No.1, and am looking for an 1860s sliding box camera. I'd hate to think that a new camera from today will have trouble making it ten years while my 100 year old Kodak will probably still be going strong 50 years from now.
