After months of research and evaluation I have decided upon the 6D, and am pretty much set to buy one...
... but I cannot, for the life of me, understand the price fluctuations I have seen over the last month.
A month ago the body was $1999,;a fair price. At some point it dropped to $1899; a better price. Last week we saw a huge price drop down to $1573, which quietly rose up to $1648 over the weekend and now B&H has it at $1899, Amazon at $1799. Even Canon's refurbished body price saw a 20% sale which ended a less then week after starting; but they sold out so that's a rather moot point too.
I am looking to replace my 30D, so it's been quite a while since I have payed attention to the camera body market; this seems odd too me.
I quess my question is: is it normal so see a $400 (25%) drop in price on this (or any body) with any regularity, around this time of year, or was this a fluke (which I may have list out on)?
All said and done, any suggestions for the near future as to when/where to our has the body; I need it by years end, so I have some time.
Thanks
Ian
