[quote name='Klaus' timestamp='1309463131' post='9655']However, just take the EOS 7D vs 5D II - we are talking about 1300EUR vs 1900EUR. In terms of total investments the 600EUR difference is, frankly, just "noise". If a potential 7D buyer really wanted he could afford a 5D II. Yet the 7D seems to outsell the 5D II by quite a margin - in Japan it does so by a factor of two.
I think the users just don't want to hassle with the usual FF bugs such as high vignetting and poor wide angles and, of course, the much more heavier tele lenses (at comparable FOV).

Not sure if I'd agree with that. "Investment" is professional's talk, meaning that camera will generate money. In that case, yes, 600eur would pay off rather quickly. However for most of us it's just a hobby, and imho 1.5x price difference is huge.
