It won’t buy you a Nikon Digital DSLR, but close to it.
Found an interesting article in the Washington Post concerning the price of DSLR’s and how much those prices are falling.
Most professionals will shy away from this camera, but some semi-pros (like myself) are looking at these as great second bodies.
There is good news when it comes to price drops. Yes, it’s frustrating to see the exact same camera body’s pricetage fall when a company comes out with version 1.2. However, as those prices fall – more and more cameras sell. Most of the time, companies then re-invest in R&D. In turn, photographers get faster cameras with better features.
At least that’s the hope! Conspiracy theorists can comment below!
At the rend of the day I think the things that keeps these big companies making newer better stuff is competition, and yes money of course. That’s why I love to see fans for all sides because the more competition, the more companies have to be on their toes. Gav
