If you can't afford it, don't buy it. It's that simple.
Be a xiao boi boi, go let gwc mor mor, sure can make money.
yah man, agree. the Ls will just keep coming. but unfortunately i just sold my 70-200f4 just last wk for a S90. im intending to upgrade to a f4 IS. its just too much for me! ugh.
my frens zhng their car until they are broke. while i succumb to the temptations of photography. haha :cry:
for a 5D mk II, my fren can get his complete customised turbo kit for his swift sport. haha
i've always resisted the urge to zhng my car because when you sell your ride, there's no way you can reclaim the costs of your aftermarket equipment. i've seen people who have spent tens of thousands on expensive ICE (in car entertainment) systems, only to repeat the cycle again when they get a new set of wheels after 3 years. but then again, if you can afford it, no one is stopping you.
for photography, if you "invest" in relatively good lenses, you should be able to let them go without incurring a significant loss. and if you're lucky enough, you might be able to make some money from it as well! i picked up my 24-70 for $1700 (brand new) just before canon jacked up their prices. and my 70-200 f/4 L IS...for only $1600. so always look out for good deals.
i won't buy another car unnecessarily as a large sum of money goes to you know who.
gwc want mei mei...
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.
You can always just use credit card to pay 36 months of installment.
or...
Just buy the next best thing, the 7D! hehehe. Because after you purchased your 5Dmk2, your next problem will be "how did u guys managed to get money to buy 24-70L, 70-200L, 100-400L lenses?"
peace!
Zhng-ing cars is wayyyy more expensive than just buying a 5DMkII alone. :sweatsm:yah man, agree. the Ls will just keep coming. but unfortunately i just sold my 70-200f4 just last wk for a S90. im intending to upgrade to a f4 IS. its just too much for me! ugh.

Spot on - and as earlier poster had pointed out, invest in good lens is much better than in the body long term. Bodies depreciate all the time, lenses hold their value well. Actually cost of a 5DMkII is nothing when compared to costs of say a fast telephoto prime lens - which can go up to few times as much.Because after you purchased your 5Dmk2, your next problem will be "how did u guys managed to get money to buy 24-70L, 70-200L, 100-400L lenses?
Have to agree... I really had to click when I saw the thread titleThread of the week
