How can you be surprised at what you've got just after you've shelled out that much????



Not to mention that he's havvinalaaarrf at that starting price.

Of course, I appear to be assuming it's a genuine seller - I'm not necessarily always that generous, you know

One of my mates who did absolutely no photography whatsoever went out and bought a 5DMK2 complete with a few L series lenses a few months after I bought my 7D when they first came out.

He earns anywhere between £6-900 a day even if he doesn't go in to work so spending a few grand on camera equipment wasn't even a drop in the ocean for him.

He dopped it last month breaking not only the body but smashing the lens as well. Next day he just went out and bought a 7D and another L series lens.

To some people money doesn't really matter.

If I dropped my 5D I think I'd cry for 6-900 days.
