It's time for a new, high-quality compact camera


Recommended Posts

Just a comment regarding the use of eBay/used prices to gauge the potential market for a product: It's not a good idea. :) After all, Beenie Babies could sell for a small fortune 15 or 20 years ago and though values fluctuate, most are worthless now.

 

To a certain extent, old cameras (or old anything) that sell for big money do so not just because of their utility, but because they are seen as a collectibles. Certain models gain a following and the price goes up since there are only so many of them. It often defies logic. Very similar and sometimes even better models will sell for practically nothing because they aren't as well known.

 

This won't be the case for any new camera. Buyers won't be competing against each other. The supply isn't limited. It won't have the cache of being a classic. Granted, you'll have a pool of buyers that will prefer buying new, but it's a very niche market.
