I paid $3499 in full for my 5D3 a couple months ago. I don't feel sour towards these new lower prices at all.

+1... me about a month ago. I love this camera! The purchase is worth it.

This is the closest we got to a confirmation of the 6D's existence. Now we only have to see what the camera looks like next :-)

I bought my 5D3 just a month ago  - but still I'm more than satisfied with it. I will just charge this to experience and wait a year after release when buying a new camera next time.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 7D to 5D III upgrade..worth it?

First post here. After getting the 5DMk3 I hardly ever use the 7D anymore, but I still like the play around with the latter. My decision to purchase the 5Dmk3 was kind of like I "can't hold on much longer". I'm a few thousand dollars poorer but I can say I'm very pleased with the 5DMk3 that I got the 16-35mm f/2.8 II just a month later (another thousand dollars or so poorer). The move from crop to full frame is so liberating, especially with the Mk3. I have not regretted the decision and I'm loving the Mk3 more and more, so I say it's worth it.

Additional info: I purchased the 5Dmk2 months before and returned it, and I'm glad I did. Even though the IQ is really great on the Mk2, coming from a 7D the Mk2 felt lacking on the AF and FPS, plus the controls. I got spoiled with the 7D, so the Mk3 is the way to go forward.
