I see alot of sell ads for 5DII and D700 at ebay and fredmiranda. Typically they sell for 90c on the dollar new, at this moment in time.
For me the HD Dslr craze is one I'm passing on for now. I need more computer, more software and many more skills to use this new feature. Sure it would be fun to have but I see a big hole I'd need to toss a bunch of bucks into and that ain't gonna happen.
HD for me has become the dividing line & I'd rather wait to acquire it. Keeping HD out of my bag saves me money. So many choices. So many brands. Still fun to read about and more fun to see video captures others are making and sharing.
If this fellow bought a 5DII and sold it for GH1 and bought 5DII again and then sold it for K-7 it really wouldn't floor me. Or if he's never owned a 5DII that would not surprise me either. I'm glad its not me on the HD Dslr merry go round.
So I'm back to mental bliss just shooting ultrawide stills and my wallet is happier with the decision. Just booked 4 days at MesaVerde. Its been 6 years since the wife and I were last there and I can't wait to see how our full frame digital captures compare with our film images from 2003 and 1989.
Originally posted by alman to be fare on that post he only talked about his wish to get the Lumix but didnt say he did. But even if he did it doesnt mean he kept it or sold the Canon. My daughter and I tried 3 canons and 2 Nikons and returned them before finally getting the Pentax k-7 and being satisfied. Only at that point did we sell the Canon. Though my daughter switched from Canon to Pentax k-7 but originally wanted to go with the GH1 because of the reasons he mentioned in the post you linked above. We ended up with the Pentax k-7 and agree with his findings. These are personal conclusions and no one should be brought down for getting to what conclusions they make. otherwise there will only be one camera sold and one car sold etc.
