CAMERA SPECULATING IN THE digital era is the norm . Sell while you can get dollars before the new models come out. I just saw a canon insider selling his 1ds mk111 over at LL days after I sold mine. It made me wonder. I am sure the m9 will come out in a year or so. Am I selling my m8 no I can live without my 1ds mk111 as I have a 5d mk 11 and though not a camera for action the 5d compared to the 1ds I can make it work. As much as I have problems with the m8 I cannot live with out it. So I am keeping and will take a big hit at upgrade time.
