Best time of the year to buy new camera?

(1/3) > >>

melastmohican:
I was thinking that after Christmas prices should go down but i checked and many things are out of stock.

pancaketom:
If you can wait and are ok with being one generation behind, the best time to buy a camera is when the newest upgrade has just been released but before the old stock is gone. When I was tracking prices I didn't see any obvious benefit to waiting until after christmas, although there were some pretty good last minute deals this year.

JPSDK:
The best time to buy is when you need it, and I mean NEED it, and it can earn back its money.

It is a business decision. So you buy new gear when the old cannot compete anymore.
That if of course unless you are a collector, collectors always buys stuff because they think they need it.

Pauws99:
When you can no longer resist buying a new one. :'(

Or six months after a new release so any bugs are ironed out prices are at sensible levels  and you can get a good lifespan before it becomes "oudated"

The best moment is always the moment when you need it.
Never wait for the next better model… or you will wait all your life.
