djacobox372 said:I tend to agree; however, youre leaving out investment cost. Pro lenses depreciate very slowly, whereas camera bodies prices fall fast. Think of it this way, when released the d200 and the 70-200mm 2.8 vr cost the same, but now the lens is still worth $1300, whereas the d200 is only $400--the further u go back the more extreme the difference.
So? Is this an investment or a tool? If you're looking for a smart buy from an investment perspective, photography is not the place to be spending money.
Cameras are tools and technology based ones to boot. They will depreciate with time and use, but this does not change anything I said.
