EOS 3 Good news, bad news and worse news and *warning* in Accessories Posted December 18, 1998 Dick - What's the big rush to be the first on the block with the latest gear? In 6 months the price will almost certainly drop to a more reasonable level. If you fork out $1400 now, that's your problem. Let's hope they don't bring out an EOS-2 soon, or you'll have to remortgage your house or sell your children. <p> Canon are in business to make money. They're not stupid and they'll price their gear at the point at which they expect maxmium return on their R&D investment over time. Just what else do you expect them to do? They make their money by keeping you wanting their latest offering. Whatever you buy, there will be a better one a year or two later. You'll go crazy (or broke) trying to keep up with them.
