Railfan Technology > Canon 5D MKIII on sale at Amazon.com

Got an e-mail from a friend who mentions the Canon 5D MKIII at  $200 off the body.
Be Well,

That means that the Mk IV is in production. Photokina is in Sept. It will be announced then. Christmas present for those of us with G.A.S.

Good to know but still slightly steep for my pocket book.  B and H shows them with the $200 "instant savings" but still $2599.  I suspect that includes free shipping.  Half the lenses I have are for cropped format bodies and I'd have to spend even more for glass.

It depends on how important a camera is for you and how flush you are.
If you need low light and the finest image quality possible without paying the price of a automobile, you get full frame cameras and match them with full frame lenses.
It would be idioitic to get a full frame camera and not have lenses that can exploit the sensor's potiential.
A APS-C camera with good lenses will do 95% of what a railran needs. 
Only if you are a serious nut and must have the highest image quality possible, then you spend your money on full frame camera's and L lenses.
