I guess this would be the worst time of year to try to sell one with vacation season mostly over, and I would think that new cameras are the focus for Xmas shopping? But then I see a DC310 with strobe currently bid to $51 so you never know...?
I've had fun with my DC500 but thinking about upgrading. New DC800, DC1000, and DC1200 are not that far apart in price with the best I see on the 8 mp @ $365/$372 with shipping vs the 12 mp available all over for $450 delivered price. SL may be bringing out a 14 or great MP camera at DEMA for all I know, but...
Anyone sold any cameras lately?
* I read an article once that anything over 3 MP is overkill. I don't agree, but then I have done some comparisons - like shooting a scene with my 10 MP Canon and my 1 MP cell in good light. Big difference in downloaded pics, but by the time I get thru with my photoshop work, then reduce resolution for emails - hardly noticeable.

14 mp is only 17% more than 12 so why bother?
If a 14 comes out, it probly won't drive down the price of the 12 from the current prices of the 8s and 10s - but will cost a lot more.
Isn't 12 mp pretty much all a twice a year vacation divers needs to be messing with anyway?
16 or more MP seems like overkill to me. *
Anyone seen any better deals on 12s, or hot deals on 8s or 10s?If a 14 comes out, it probly won't drive down the price of the 12 from the current prices of the 8s and 10s - but will cost a lot more.
