How many people here think spending $200-$500 on a good used camera is a good investment and at what point do they start to become bad investments..
Let me explain. I bought my first LX, I don't know maybe 20 years ago. I still have it. Still use it, still love it. I've since acquired 3 more, all used all reasonably priced. Then I picked up a PZ1 used at a reasonable price. I think so far they've been good investments. I'm sure I could get my money back if I went to sell them. But if I continue to buy cameras, sooner or later the investment value vs the amount of time the cameras are used gets smaller... not as small as my mutual funds lately, but still, less, let's say, productive.... A lot of us have (what some would say) a little obsession about collecting bodies. (Let's not even talk about lenses). I think there are a lot worse ways to spend our money. But let's face it, nobody spends money like a photographer on a mission with change in their pockets. What do you think? Vic
