Can someone again summarize why the lingering hatred of Foveon? Thanks. There is not hatered for Foveon IMHO. Just sound technical criticism. The Fovoen based cameras do not deliver what they promise. The competition is much better. This is a pity really. We need competing technologies toget rapid advancemants. /Roland |

... In article , Peter A. Stavrakoglou snip And, they're outrageously priced for what they are. I came across an eBay listing for an SD10. It's been re-listed twice after the original listing, and g-d knows why he didn't take the $1000 offer, in the first listing, and run, since he didn't even get as high an offer in the second listing as he did in the first. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3873164808 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3875133617 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3876716626 B&H's used department would likely offer about $650 for the lot, and sell it for around $1300, with some sort of a guarantee, so $900-1000 would be a fair eBay price. I hope that his reserve price isn't the same as the "Buy It Now" price! Used equipment of any genre doesn't fetch much more than 60% of the new price, usually closer to 50%. People look at what they paid for something, and figure that they are entitled to get 75% of what they paid back when they sell it used. |

You'll probably find that ('any genre') to be untrue in a couple of cases: - items old enough to have quite some historical value - collectors' items no longer freely available - well-treated, undamaged items of high quality workmanship --- while you probably won't make any money, you can get much closer to a break even. I hear-tell Canon L lenses are in that class. -Wolfgang |

I hear-tell Canon L lenses are in that class. Yes, you're right, I should have noted that. I was thinking about rare items being an exception when I wrote that post, but I didn't include it. I didn't know that about Canon L lenses, but it makes sense. |

If it has the Polaroid name attached and uses Foveon technology...really...who cares at this point? Obviously a number of people, including Phil of DP Review. That doesn't mean that we are interested in buying it though. Rose Parchen |
