prices are holding relatively steady for DSLRs, but there only about a year
left.

Incidentally, a Pentax executive in his recent interview regarding the
price
collapse of PS digital, was saying that, when *istD was released, it sold
surprisingly faster than they expected "initially", and when *istDs was
out,
it sold even faster "initially". It did not die out of course but this
interview tells that they know the severity of the product life cycle, not
because of their cameras were obsolete but the whole cycle was driven by
deliberately shorter cycle challenged by the competitions. It is indeed
crazy.
