I lust after all of them, but I don't need any. Have all the older versions, except for the MKII which has become a 5d, and am quite happy with them heh; unlikely to change.

wait for 2 yrs later then the price drop to below $4k like what the mark2 price is now.

meanwhile, continue to fully use the mark1 or mark2 that you are having now.

They are more than capable cameras already. Not necessary dump them just to get the MkIII. Work them to the ground first!

Too many Marks for my taste. I think Canon has a chief engineer of some sort somewhere called Mark Something.
