Some lost interest? Some plan to return to a P&S? top 3 reasons for it. for the first one, a lot of ebay companies sell equipment, and if it's a hot item, they sell a lot of them. the second and third are basically one and the same for 80% of the people who fit into this category. hell, i've seen people buy a 1dsmkII and 3k in lenses only to find out it doesn't have a green box mode I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

52k Senior Member  339 posts Joined Jun 2006 More info | Well I've just upgraded my 30d to a 1DmkIIN. I've got no complaints about the 30d it's an excellent camera, so much so I've decided to keep it for a backup though I did consider selling it at one point as it too is very young.
