- Indeed, but the experienced camera user can also benefit from the introduction
- of new models since the older models, once superceeded by the new models,
- often find their way to the used market and can be picked up for quite a bit
- less than their new price. Because of this, one can probably pick up a
- Nikon N8008, (by all accounts a fine, modern, AF camera), for quite a bit less
- than the new price 2 or 3 years ago. Just don't buy the newest model, always
- wait a couple of models, you probably won't lose much in the process but
- you will save quite a bit of money.

- (Personally, I have a Nikkormat FT for shooting 35mm and I haven't seen
- anything yet that I think is better for the type of 35mm photography I do.
- I do more medium and large format photography than I do 35mm generally
- and it is unfortunate that the great feature race isn't going on so much
- in 4x5 photography, otherwise I might be able to pick up an inexpensive
- Sinar :-) )
