VOTE AND RATE:DSLR'S

Can someone on here give an idea how much is the price of 7D (body only) when it was launch on October 2009? Prefer in US$.

L--Release Price of Canon 7d--u

Forgive the L and the u. I had my reasons.

Release price is US$ 1535?
Then currently the price is US$ 1699.
It didn't depreciate after a year, it increased!:er:

That might be more the result of your currency devaluing against the yen faster than the depreciation in the market? It's dropped by £600 ish in the UK markets since release. Canon EOS 7D Body from £1104.84, UK Specialist Price Comparison Site, Camera Price Buster

No idea about the economy or currency at the moment xD.
I don't know about that release price if it's accurate, but the current price surely is, because I got it from Canon USA website itself. I'm confused. Maybe US$ 1535 is wrong. I will just google it myself to find out.

I found from another site gizmodo for US$ 1900 release price! Dated Sept. 1,'09.

Prices on gear fluctuate oddly. Sometimes older models of things become more valuable, newer things become more expensive if they become scarce, etc.

Currently it's Dubai Shopping Festival here
and there promo goes

7D body only is US$ 1901.90(PLUS 18-135IS lens kit @ US$ 2282.33)
60D body only is US$ 1,412.77.(PLUS 18-55mm+4gb+case @ US$ 1630.16)
D7000 body only @ US$ 1630.16 (PLUS 18-105mm lens +8gb card+case @ US$ 1983.42)

Does it make sense, I'm currently based in Dubai. I understand that it's much cheaper in the US. Not coming back for quite sometime.
Wondering if the prices here will depreciate soon for like after 6 mos. or so.:er:

Most camera companies were created equal except for Nikon, which is more equal than others.

The P100 is a true bridge camera that is slowly making its way to the other *side*.

Contemplating whether I will go straight to 7D or just opt for 60D. I'm a beginner but it'll be for a long haul xD;-)
