For my business .. the 5Dmkiii is a sweet camera.

Seriously people ... for those that live in the US ... you live in the land of over indulgence.
A little price increase and you are screaming.

and as for price increase - why would a new camera cost the same as an earlier model?

and for the marginal business ... why not work on the business than adding a new tool?
wait .... that is the sensible thing to do. Thats not fun.

i forgot ... we americans want our ice cream and cake.... my bad.


And i do get out of the country ... like next week ... and see a different perspective.


So, you are chiding us for wanting to be thrifty? We should not want value? We should gladly accept the asking price because this corporation is doing us a favor? We should not each evaluate a product based on our own needs and judge whether we think it is worth the cost? We should just assume that the corporation’s pricing is fair and just?

I do find it strange that when Canon raises prices it seems there’s no shortage of folks who feel they have to jump in to defend the company. If your phone bill goes up goes up, are you not unhappy about that? Or when gas prices go up, how come people don’t go around defending oil companies with the same zeal?

While I like some of their products, I’m not in the business of running a Canon fanclub and I am not a charity for any camera company.
