I was wondering where do you guys (5DmkII owners) get the money to purchase such an expensive body. Any sources to earn some quick cash?! haha. Im intending to upgrade to a 5DmkII by stumped by the pricing.
 

haha im short of doing that. tried everything else.
 

Combine several years of AWS? :bsmilie:
 

yeah man, shucks. looks like im not in the league for a full frame at the moment.
hope dec bonus will be good then i will be half way there.

Tried going to the Bank, point a knife at YOUR throat and ask the bank manager to hand over the $ ?.:)

Are you sure you need to go FF? If you really need to, can consider 5D1.
 

Money hard to make in this economy. Save up for rainy day. Buy a cheap camera and you still can shoot like a pro. Buy a FF camera don't guarantee good pics. In the end, it is you that matters.

If you are currently making a living being a photographer, ya, go ahead, invest.
 

Thread of the week :thumbsup: :bsmilie:

If you don't mind 2nd hand, can consider a used 5D MK I. About half the price of a new 5DII. Still a fantastic camera despite its age. :thumbsup:

Anyway, just to warn you, the full frame poison does not just end with purchasing the body...soon you will be hankering after fast L primes or zooms...believe me....it never ends. :sweatsm:

this is your only hope. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 

well, just cut your expenditure in other areas. or find a job that pays relatively well? :)

most importantly, always live below (not within) your means. as one CS-er as pointed out, you don't need a 5dm2 to take amazing pictures.

Quick cash? Sell all your equipment listed and you might just have enough cash to buy a 5DmkII body. Quick and effortless!
