50D price reduction before it becomes discontinued?

[nimblybimbly85]

Basically, what is the normal trend in price reduction over time for a still new body, but older model such as the 50D go before Canon discontinues it? Also, How much longer will the 50D be available new before it is discontinued?





Thanks a lot!

It should still be available for a short time after the replacement model (D60?) is available. Being the replacement hasn't been announced I wouldn't get too excited or, be in too big of a hurry.

The price of the 50D has been dropping over time. Suprisingly, prices often increase after a new model is released, probably due to short supply. There is no way to predict this.


I consider the 7d to be a replacement for the 50D. There may never be a 60d. It will be confused with the D60. Don't worry about price drops, if you need it, buy it.
