Re: Does it make sense to buy new
Blow me, I have to admit that having gone back and re-read the OP I realise it was more about early adopters rather than buying new cameras generally...
That said I think my comments still largely apply, if you buy it straight off and then use it frequently for a decent length of time then it's probably still a sensible buy. The caveat may be that early adopters then run the risk of being unwitting beta testers should there be a few unresolved bugs in the system or, as original 5D owners found out, some unknown or unexpected mechanical /quality control issue. Those who resist temptation or have to save up the cash and buy a few months down the line are generally better placed to avoid these problems.
I guess you takes your choice and pays your money - or not...
