Some of the owners probably feel they're getting back only a tiny pittance; that was a $5500 body when new.
But, would this explain why people are willing to spend such prices for relatively low-resolution cameras?
In my case, as a film shooter, I was looking for one so that I could shoot for the web, in RAW, without wasting huge segments of my CF card in the field. The project I'm planning will use several hundred images, all of which are about 1000 pixels on the long side. Right now, a 10-mp camera is gross overkill; by the time I'm ready to get a full-fledged honest-to-God digital SLR, 10 megapixels will be as valuable as a 5-1/4" floppy disk.
But back to the original question. How are the prices on a 2.6-mp camera driven so high -- not by the sellers, but by the buyers?
