In Sept 2012 is worth less than $2K ( worse than 50% in 6 years) M9 Introduced in Sept 2009 at $7000. In Sept 2012 is worth $4K. ( a bit better than 50% in 3 years) M-E Introduced in Sept 2012 at $5400. Using the algorithm suggested above...... Worth about 50% in 1 1/2 years??????? Which says the M Type 240 ( that was easier to use as a name then M10?) will be introduced at, let's say $7K in 2013. Using the same algorithim, the camera, used, will be worth $3.5K in 9 months after introduction..... Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net Recheck your quoted dates on that M8 though ;-) Cheers, Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 12 December 2012 06:31, Frank Filippone <red735i at verizon.net> wrote: > A realistic expectation.... > > M8, Introduced in Sept 2008 at $4800.
