How many of you actually have money to buy the new 5D Mark III?

I'm usually a generation behind. Just got a 5DII in December for $1,900. Will probably get the 5DIII when the 5DIV is released. Canon's price hikes are killing me. I don't have enough money to justify getting the newest stuff, there is more important stuff going on in my life. Would I if I had enough money? Hell yeah...

Coming from the 5DMark 11 & ready to upgrade I have a lot of interest in both the Nikon 800 and the Canon 1DX even though its a completely different beast. Like everyone I have heard the rumours of a 22 MP 5D Mark111 spec up but doubt it will do enough at that level to gain my interest. I will be watching but more keen for a quality 36 MP model. Bring it on Canon Nikon has made the challenge!

Take care man !!! Iphone photo contains EXIF which, by default, has GPS coordinates and people can get a lot of info from internet nowadays .
Btw, with $170k you can buy just a camping tent where I live.

well if 3500 is bo price then that is a bit out of my budget
would have pulled the trigger at 27-2800 but looks like i'm going to get the mII , which I am still completely excited about coming from a Xti
happy for the people that will be able to get it - this sounds like my ideal camera to be honest

At this point, I feel Nikon D800 is a much better choice. Canon needs to go back to the drawing board.

I may buy a D800 with couple of lenses at this time.

Excellently trolled sir/madam. Headgears off to you.

depends on the retail. The $3500 is a stretch, I was anticipating high $2k's, but I want one. I shoot on a 7D, 50/50 photo and video, so this is a natural progression. It just means the next couple of jobs ALL go in the savings bank.
