I just saw a 7D refurb on canon's website listed @ 40% off.

This will happen more often, similar to the 5D2 at time of the 5D3 launch. The 7D is going to be obsoleted, and we all know it, so it's just a question of how low everyone needs to go with all these specials before realities (like grips, batteries, etc.) are trumped by emotions ("but it was soooo cheap!").

Also: EOS-M. It's the same price-drops-and-drops-and-drops-until-you-bite scenario, albeit for very different reasons than the 7D and 5D2. I've recently seen EOS-M kits with the EF-M 18-55 for something comical, like $249. They are, in effect, giving those away.

It was just a posting for a sale price that some may be interested in. Wasn't intending for an in depth analysis on Canon's logic for such a discount, or why you would choose full frame because the 7D battery grip is still MSRP.

Thank goodness you were around play police for such topics.

Jeez.
:eek:

I choose FF because its so much better than crop. I've had two 7D's, they were good (at the time) for a crop. I was merely pointing out that they were not taking 40% off a grip or battery, so they are no bargain. I never use a add-on grip, they have been less than satisfactory for me.

The prices for used 7D's will bounce up later this year, so it is a good time to grab one. Get the lens combo deal for $100 more and resell the lens.
