[QUOTE="wornish, post: 320631, member: 15434"] It seems to me that some manufacturers are ordering a single batch of sensors for their cameras and then assembling them into the specific models. Once the initial order has been used up they are not ordering a second batch. So a new model is announced using a new improved sensor. Same applies for the internal image processor chip. Fuji and Sony seem to be bringing out new models almost every 3 months with marginal differences. At least the D800/e have been around for 2 years. I am guessing that the D800 / D800e will stop being made pretty soon and will be Discontinued once they clear inventory, same goes for D7000 and the 5100 and 3100. The manufacturer life of modern electronics is probably 12 to 18 months and if you are buying a camera as an investment rather than a tool you will be disappointed. [/QUOTE]
