What happens is the old model sells out and the new model will have more features ... at the same or maybe lower price.

I was curious. How long does it take for a digital camear to have a price drop. Like a car or other products, I thought when the newer products came out, the price of the older one would drop. When I first looked at the camera I wanted, it was already like 5-6months old. I was told there was a newer model coming out, so I figured I'd wait the month or two til the newer version came out and to add, I didn't have the cash right then. I don't have a problem using an older model camera, but the prices don't seem to ever drop. There are places like Ritz that are selling a year old camera for the same price as when it first came out and since then 2 or 3 models came out after that and are sometimes lower in price.
