So many Canon D60 for sale

[Goldmember]

i think its too early to say the D100 have good selling price. for fair judgement D100 owners should keep theirs and sell it just before new replacement is launch. then you will see how much a D100 actually worth. I notice there's been lots of D100 sales even before the D10 was announce, the users know very well how much they are going to get when new DSLR is launch. Should there be a new and better Nikon DSLR that is selling say like 2400, where would the selling price of D100 be? $3000? no way.

sign...investing in DSLR is like investing in Handphones....

every now and then new handophone models launches and prices drop like crazy...

thats how they capture the markets.....

how to invest like that...technology gets better and people just wont get satisfied with those functions.....

or should you get them after a while...(maybe a year later)...anything new thing/technology will definetly have some flaws at the first place....thats y you have so many service packs in Windows NT4.

Last but not least, do you really need those functions?
Are you going just for the functions? or are u just pursuing photography? hmmm:dunno: will owning a 10D makes you a better photographer? or will D60 just do the job...(if D60 can do the job, y sell and lost so much just to get a new DSLR which you have not tried before...? Who knows, it might be worst????

:dunno:

:dunno:

I think it's becuse owner try to play safe, to absorb the mininal lost at of the equipment ..
Not becuase of to be a better Photographer..

This D-SLR case is worse than Handphone in terms of The amount of MOney they have Spent on the D-SLR Body'

DSLR's are a GREAT investment.

BUT the return is not in the form of resale value, but in the priceless pictures of your kids / loved ones / street photos etc and the enjoyment you derive from them.

Then if this is the case, you dont need a DSLR mah...a digital camera with at least 2 MPs will do what...i am using G2 and is very happy with it. got into a dilima when G3 came out...but then drop the idea of getting G3 due to the resale value of G2 and of course those functions in G3 doesnt really attract me....G2 is more then enough...:gbounce:

Is it really worth it to sell away their newly acquired D60 at a loss just to get da "not-so-futureproof" 10D?

So wat difference does it make? They will probably tell me: "Oh, yeah! U dumbhead, the latest camera will always take the best picture!"

Well, tats their money...none of my business anyway...
I'm just saying, economy is very bad, a lot of ppl are jobless, ppl are struggling just to make ends meet...Spend wisely...

As always, "Its the photographer who makes the picture"...

Just my 2c worth

Agreed.
Should not try to shoot down prices of used D60/D30/G3 cos we don't even know the D10's price in Singapore. It will be marketing suicide for Canon to sell D10 @2600. Then G3 would be 850, S45 650.Let the owners to sell their gears in peace. Willing buyers willing sellers.
Model changes faster than you could read your manual, it about 10 months. There is another model on the drawing board already, D24;p . anyway, how many forumers have yet to take advantage of the drop in prices since G1? Still waiting and waiting and waitng for the next model

selling 10D at lower price can help boost sales of EF and L lenses. More profit than selling P&S.

There are many issues on this 10D release that people should think about. Firstly, the street price is already US$1500. That would roughly be around S$2500-S$2700. The improvements? It can be quite significant for some, not major for others. You can read the list at DPReview and make an informed decision. As for the current D60 users, I too echo the question: Do you really need the 10D? Are you limited or restricted by a D60 that a 10D would alleviate or solve? Do you think your photos that you take will be better with a 10D?

Right now, some people don't seem to mind to spend S$3000 for a camera or make a loss of S$1700-2000 when they "upgrade" from D60->10D, have only used the camera for around 9 month. If you compare this to handphones, the handphone upgrades are cheap in comparision.

As for the D100 (disclaimer: I own one), there is some comfort that Nikon does not rush out with a product and preserve the owner's wallet . Many talk/rumours over at DPReview on what Nikon will do: Firmware upgrade for D100s? Come up with a D100x that supports Firewire? A D1h/x replacement: D2 with a Fovean sensor? I personally don't mind paying say S$50-100 for a firmware upgrade if it provides some improvements. D100x? Without significant and major improvements, no thanks. As for the rumoured D2 which is guessed to be priced at US$5k-6k with equivalent of 14-18MP, it is out of my budget.

So in my point of view, the D100's price will remain steady or a drop to match Canon 10D, but without a replacement, there will be no free fall like the value of a D60.

Why? Canon knows if they priced it too high like >S$3k, the perceived value of a gray market camera will make it far too attractive when it is going at US$1500 which translate to S$2610 @ US$1->S$1.74.

Seems like everyone who's selling the D60 is "upgrading to 1D/1Ds"

Hey man, these people may not be selling because of 10D after all :bsmilie:



:devil::devil::devil:

In fact, I am very pleased to see 10D is out. This is gonna pull down the price of pro bodies, and any other to-be-released bodies (say EOS 3 equivalent) as well. y bother too much about the one u have. Loosing value? Surely it will. But no panic if the old one still does the job. If D60 becomes too cheap to sell away, I'd rather keep it as a back-up after getting my next (pro) body. Since I have already taken 30,000 frames before, y cannot take another 30,000 shots from now on? Agree with streetshooter's opinion, just cannot live without a DSLR. My last two rolls of film took months to finish.

That is wise thinking.

[henavs]

Then again...If ppl had decided to get rid of their D60 no matter wat, I wouldn't mind getting a D60 at a bargain price... :devil:

With the Canon 10D out, thus the D100 would be a lower in features and functions compared to 10D. In fact, it is a bad sign, as Nikon ain't keen in improving their products.

rumors of a D5 or D90x....., anyone?
