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

[frisk]

Considering how much money I have spent (or "wasted", according to my wife) on lenses over the years, the reported $3500 price is not that significant.

Seems like a lot of you guy/girls are just here for fun. I've read many people say "my wife says no"? You're a grown ass man asking your wife for allowance, what a same.

As for me well..

what's your day job?

Why assuming it's a day job?

I had saved enough for the 1DX but with the 1D4 and 1Ds3 I felt I couldn't justify it. So have bought me a large chunk of glass instead

My gf keeps saying i wont have enough money to buy a new body when we have kids so i should get the latest model now whilst i still have money lol. I dont really need the AF of the 5d mkiii but i guess when i have kids i would if im going to be banned from getting a new body lol

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.

Lol .. Thanks. Cant afford the III but this made me laugh. +1

3 Kids + IRS = 5D MK III

I have a 7D, two $1K L lenses, several non-L primes, and still my coffee machine and grinder set up costs more.

I'm getting a 5D3 at some point (and not selling any of the old gear), and like that it is less megapixels than the D800 while having the advantages it has. I still have to get the wife's permission -- but she usually lets me buy stuff fairly easily.

Hey I know this was probably a joke but it went over my head! Im from u.k so dont really know about IRS. Although its off topic could you explain it?

In the USA our taxes are reduced somewhat by having dependents (i.e. children). The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the federal tax office that we pay our hard-earned tax money too.

My Kids are Worth How Much?

stay calm guys! I believe we're into this forum because of that one thing we have in common "our passion for photography" opening up and sharing ones' thought is such a wonderful thing despite our distances and our day to day activities in our busy lives. funny but we're here sharing thoughts and experience with one another, it's some sort of brotherhood though maybe noone ever thought it that way. for some of us a simple smile or a silent laugh or even a smite for some humor or honest opinion but we let it pass as this forum has become part of our daily lives...despite our races and distances, we need to be carefull and vigilant in everything we say as some may find a simple humor to be offending.

Being single with a nice paying job and excellent money management skills allows me afford the 5D Mark III.
