Somehow I don't see that as a "plummeting" market. I see it as holding market share and value extremely well. In fact far better than C and N bodies when new bodies are released. The brand new, over the counter, price of a C 5DmkII just dropped $200. I truly cannot imagine why you keep dissing small sensors; while shooting with 1.5 crop factor; rave about large sensor real estate; yet don't shoot with a full frame sensor; and contemplate buying glass dedicated to a small sensor; diss the M8, with its 1.33 factor (larger than yours), at every opportunity; yet never shot with one; rave about Leica glass; own the Leica glass; yet don't use it. Feels very odd.
