The Pro is more money than the Zoom but just marginally so and only for new items. For example, using the past 13 (Baker's dozen?) eBay new items sold as an index for both the Mavic Pro and the Mavic Zoom, the Pro averaged $1,413 whereas the Zoom averaged $1,295. But, the reverse happens when you look at used items sold on eBay. In that same 13 item count, used sales of the Pro averaged $748 compared to $1,068 for the Zoom. Averaging in both new and used, the Pro was $902 and the Zoom $1242. If the Pro with its Hasselblad lens is as good as they say it is, it's a real bargain on the used market much more so than the Zoom. But is it really that good? Of the 13 items recorded as Pro sales, only 3 were new items. The Zoom was the exact reverse - 10 were new and 3 were used. This could indicate that Zoom buyers are happy buyers as a great majority are hanging on to what they bought and not reselling. But Pro buyers may not be happy as a great majority of them seem to be reselling what they bought. I respect the fact that this is a Spark forum and I'm talking Mavics both Pro and Zoom. But I'm using the Spark as a stepping-stone to learn the basics and then upgrade to the best possible lens I can get within the so-called consumer market. I have to believe there are users on this forum who have had experience with both the Spark and the Mavics. I'm looking to them for a bit of helpful advice. Thanks!
