ISO 100, 4 seconds. Download the whole picture with that link on the upper left. Does look a little muddy, might just be the lens, because I\'ve seen other examples that are much clearer. I have a like new 40D that I waited to list on Craigslist for a couple of weeks and it is down at least $25, maybe $50. In addition, I think release cycles are going to come down. It would not surprise me to see the Mark III out a year from now or so. Further depressing prices.
So, what does everyone think the prices are going to be like in about a month? I would really hate to buy one at retail then find them selling for $200 less (of course).
I have one on order (in first batch, whatever that means) ... I got $210 off ... so you won\'t have to wait too long to see your $200 off. I expect to see these discounted by as much as $500 within six months. Probably $350 - $400 within 60 days. I picked up my 50D for $370 off within the first month it was available. The good old days of bodies holding their value seems to be gone. Early adopters are probably going to be punished buy at full retail going forward (not picking on anyone, like I said I have one on order ... just setting realistic expectations).
