Ok, I must say.... I dont care what it cost, im getting one.

I went to a family wedding and met an Uncle that was into photography. I was so excited to talk camera with him, and once i found out what he had in his camera bag i was amazed. And even more amazing, he was kind enought to allow me to ues it!!!

I must say, GOOD glass makes the camera. I was shooting this wedding with the 70-200 and 24-70 L lenses... Most of my shots were from a 2nd story balcony and even from like 50 yards @ ISO 400 with the 420EX, I got some AMAZING , SHARP, and Bright pictures! Ive never had so much fun using a lens/camera. Even the pro HIRED photographers were comming up to me telling me NICE LENS (these were Nikon shooters) ! =)

Being this was my FIRST wedding shoot (yes for family and did it for free)... I still managed to get 1 picture,... that the hired pro girl told me. Shes jeallous!!!!

Go ahead and buy. You'll put your marriage at risk, but OTOH you'll get a great lens :)
