I agree there that prices have declined somewhat over the last few years. This is the result of both digital camera introductions and economic malaise. But to read the list one would think that prices have dropped precipitously since the release of the *ist-d. That is simply not true. However, I hope film camera prices do continue to drop. I want an M3 an M6, and a Pentax 67II. I wouldn't mind having another LX as well. But I don't anticipate big changes in the near future. But I agree that there will probably be a steady decline, at least on non-collectable 35mm cameras.
