Greetings all - I Joined today . . .

I found this rather by mistake and HAD TO sign up for this forum . . . I purchased USED a Sony 717 last week for $475 incl 256MB card - 2 months old used for a one-time business useage and then shelved! Wahoo. I would obviously LOVE the 828 but figure the prices will drop on that bad boy later this Summer.

Does anyone have any history regarding price drops for the Sony models? I'm a long time 35mm Canon T90 user (had 2 of 'em and they were tremendous) and entered the digital domain with this "new" Sony.

I see comparisons all the time with Canon . . . as a Canon veteran I am IMMENSELY impressed with the 717 and the 828 must be amazing. Any responses regarding future 828 pricing or desert scenery tricks for my 717 would be appreciated.

Greetings from California and hope you're all well and happy and TAKING PHOTOS. I've taken more this week than I took in the last 4 years with the 35mm.
