Anyone think there might not be another xxD camera now that the 7D is here?
I thought that at first but it is positioned well between the Rebel series and the 7d. There is enough difference in price to justify it's existence (at the moment). I don't think you'll see a 60D for quite some time though.

I have the 1d3 and one thing for sure. The IQ from a 7d isn't as the 1d3. Lots of posts here prove that .
Completely different cam's try both and you will see the difference. Like a mercedes E class compared tot a ford focus. The focus isn't bad but the a completely other car than the E-class.
Personally I think the auto focus issue, what absolutely was a negative issue gives the 1d3 such a bad name that all good things were shadowed. I've got the 1d3 for about 3 months and it's a very good tool. Fast, sharp focus, punchy true colors. Much much better then my 30d who was very acceptable....Show more →
Like an E-Class compared to a Ford Focus? Hardly. More like a BMW 5-Series compared to an M3.

Why people killing the camera at buy and sale forum
They selling it for $2,300/2,400 and the new one is around $5,000.00
Very stupid if you ask me for such of good camera
Why is it stupid to sell a camera if you like that
Or should everybody keep it just because you like the price to stay high
And the price for a new is not $ 5000. I payed about $ 3400 and that was 1½ year ago.
It's not an investment, just a tool you use in photography

Have you ever used both I had the choice between a 5dm2 with some glass or a new 1d. Used both? (7d wasn't there to be honest). Bit the difference at a trial day was huge.

Perhaps it's a matter of choice and wallet possibility. Investment for pros, tools for both. ama and pro

A matter of choice choice of what and wallet possibility I don't even know what you talk about in your reply ? they are selling not buying ..........
Investment is something I belive would be worth more in the future. Like stocks, options, futures and similar things. I would not invest in something I know would be worth less already the day after I bought it. It's the work of the pros that make money. Not the camera body.........
Cameras are like cars now. They depreciate as soon as you buy it.
Although you can use them for as long as they function, the monetary life span is probably 6-8 years depending on the model.
So my new philosophy is to buy the best camera I can afford when I NEED a new camera and just use it. If a new camera arrives that has a compelling reason for me to upgrade, I will do so at that time. Nothing I do will change the value of these cameras so just enjoy it.
Of course the best thing would be to get a job as a photog so you can write these off on your taxes.

I have used a 1DIII on a couple of brief occasions actually, but not a 5DII. To be honest, that's my ego responding to your post...I just hate my new camera being called a Ford Focus
deepbluejh: .....slightest concept of free market economics
I am not sure where you live but I do not think that there is a free market anymore. I do not believe that you subsidize and "stimulate" heavily in "free market".
