Here's a super-duper camera at a super-duper price:

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III Digital SLR
• 21.1-megapixel Digital Camera
• $8,000 (Wow! eek )

Doesn't the price just make you want to rush out and buy one? laugh

Paltry for the quality of the image I say!

If you cannot afford to step up to an $8,000 camera, you really have to ask if it's worth taking pictures at all - I mean, really... wink

LOL

Makes me wonder how you decide between adding a garage to your property or buying a camera...hmmm...

The choice is easy. Get the camera laugh (j/k)

I know one thing, it better be able to take x-ray vision pictures with that kind of price.

Back in or around 1996 when I still had a regular job at a large cellular base station manufacturer, they bought a camera for about $9,000+ to document build procedures of base stations for factory employees. A comparable camera to that $9,000 camera these days will run about $200—$300 now. Guess we'll just need to wait about 5—7 years before we can all have our $8,000 camera for about $300 or so.

I give it 6 months and one will show up on eBay for half the MSRP - stolen, no doubt, but cheaper none the less... wink
