In Sept 2012 is worth less than $2K ( worse than 50% in 4 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 2 years??????? I don't think the move financially from Film to Digital was so hard for me. I saved on film costs. Broke even quickly. But the second digital camera is a harder rationalization.... I am already saving the money. Why would I buy another? ( assuming my present digiM is still working to spec) (actually I bought a new M8 then a used M9, for the bigger sensor.....so I have passed that rationalization already) Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net In 2 years,a used M-E could be about $3K!
