My guess is that .. you can wait .. the longer for the better price. Let your need guide you...
Haa.. Japan is known to keep prestige production line to their own land... worst.. they keep some of the best product to themselves. I dont mind cheaper products from anyone... just that it has to be good, and benefit everyone that needs it.Falconite, I see you owns a EOS 5D Mark II. I would presume if CANON shift it production of this DSLR camera from Japan to China or even India, we can expect a price drop in 6 - 12 months. Or maybe a new model to supersede the EOS 5D Mark II that improve the black dot issues with new improved CMOS (maybe made in China).
I agree with you ....... Let your needs or wants guide you to the ownership for now...
Wah... Bingo!!. so far only person taken with the 5DmkII video is my newborn...Would like to add too, with the global economic situation, there are people who still wishes to take time off with their family and well, since they can't go far like europe, they travel nearer and with sufficient cost savings, a dslr suddenly becomes a very feasible purchase.
If you're having a family with all the small kiddos, pictures are priceless, for those whole could afford the cam, its nv a compromise at this time of the year
Haaa.. that is why i say.. let your need guide u... if u need so much you have to get it now at a higher price.. i say get it! If you dun need to.. u wait.. u can always get it cheaper tomorrow...

im using the extreme III 4gb, seems perfectly fine for me, even for video recording...no prob with short burst of ard 9 shots....
I run both "N" and "C" System.............BUT
My advice is to hold back any purchase now as the 2 out of the 3 Full Frame OEM Brand is going to drop price early next year (I mean significant DROP!!). I've solid infos that 1 brand going to do a huge price drop in January and the other brand doing likewise in March.
I did want to see how the "C" brand cope and react......
The above is 101% solid infos.........BUT please do not PM me for which brand dropping in Jan and which in March..........
BTW, I'm referring to Global pricing and at times Singapore market might not be impacted as the local market is WAY TOO SMALL to have an impact and the competition for market share starts in the states, Europe and northern Asia (Japan, China/HK, Korea)
I would wait for the 3 brand to shoot it out by mid 2009. I don't think Mr "C" brand going to hold on to price, as the global "Semicoductor Prices" is going down the drain!:thumbsd:
Well maybe the lower cost to produce the camera due to weak component prices will help in price adjustment. Unless they using the extra profit to go BONK KTV girls as what these "J" is famous for.......:kiss:
Waahhh.. Finally out from your cave, bro.
