I will be pleasantly surprised if they do! Will they though? I hope they do!<BR/><BR/>Oh is that the five food group flat pyramid? :)1001 noisy camerashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10296123143499134309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-11372319431403531222008-01-22T12:26:00.000-08:002008-01-22T12:26:00.000-08:00Yes, eBay and Keh. Right you are.<BR/><BR/>I paid $280 for my A640 new, and I can probably sell it on eBay for more than I paid.<BR/><BR/>That's just not right...<BR/><BR/>FWIW I'd be surprised to see even *one* decent, larger-sensored prosumer be introduced at PMA.<BR/><BR/>More zoom, more bells and whistles, more colors....arrrgghh...not larger sensors.<BR/><BR/>And BTW, you do know that caffeine is one of the major food groups, right?<BR/><BR/>Just for your enlightenment... the major food groups are:<BR/><BR/>Sugar, salt, fat, caffeine, and chocolate! LOL<BR/><BR/>Got that? Now eat up!

Bursting with flavor and fashion!<BR/><BR/>I think we will be lucky if we get one photography-enthusiast-friendly camera per manufacturer at PMA. Olympus did "their part" with the SP-570UZ, which I will be covering in detail later today. All the shiny silvers are slowing me down :)<BR/><BR/>At least they added zooming and focusing via ring! But they have also gone to the new ant-hill 10mp 1/2.33" sensor!<BR/><BR/>There's always eBay, KEH, and such for models like the A640 and A80 :)<BR/><BR/>The "bimbo cams" are going to be the majority, especially since digital camera sales continue to be strong, even though the industry experts thought they would have slowed down by now. <BR/><BR/>At least I don't charge $10,000 per blog post when I am proven wrong :) <BR/><BR/>Caffeine is wonderful! Chocolate + caffeine + ice cream = brain food!1001 noisy camerashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10296123143499134309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-19862439064160671972008-01-22T09:47:00.000-08:002008-01-22T09:47:00.000-08:00Oh whoopee...<BR/><BR/>More teeny sensor "me too" clone cams.<BR/><BR/>And they use the nearly dead xD memory cards.<BR/><BR/>Do they come in pink? LOL<BR/><BR/>If they do, I'm sure they'll sell by the boatload.<BR/><BR/>You know what scares me? The fact that if my Canon A640 were to die, I'd have to go back to using my A80.<BR/><BR/>And if that were to die, I don't know what I would do.<BR/><BR/>There isn't a single compact cam worth buying anymore, and I don't want a DSLR.<BR/><BR/>I have film SLR's collecting dust, and I won't go back to having to buy into a "system" and spend, spend, spend.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention having to lug it all around...<BR/><BR/>Seeing these announcements every day for more "bimbo cams" makes me really afraid that PMA will have nothing worthwhile to offer...<BR/><BR/>Now I'm depressed. I have to go imbibe some more caffeine. LOLmrsfixitnoreply@blogger.com
