I'd share some of the wealth and buy cameras for some fellows who can't afford a decent one, couldn't burn through that amount of money. I would probably not spend it on a camera for myself. Happy with what I have have :)

I'd get a second 5DIII, an EF 100-400 II, and maybe an EF 800 f/5.6L for when I get a wildlife shooting hair up my a$$. Of course I'd need a couple new good tripods and a gimbal head.

Doesn't matter what camera but I'd buy some major advertising space to complain about focus issues just for the hell of it.

It doesn't matter what I buy. My wife will tell me I don't need it.

You could buy plenty of new wives who wouldn't tell you that. :lol:

I'm pretty happy with my 7D2/5D3 setup at the moment, but I'd probably buy a Canon 200-400mm f/4L IS + 1.4x Extender and book a Safari trip.

Does a Porsche to carry my gear around count?

Some clerk at B&H, and maybe one at Adorama would melt down from overwork. Not only would I go 1DX and 5D3, 5Dr but I would preorder theor replacements before they are even announced. And just send me the lens library while you're at it.

you get yourself a nice carrying case but take it easy on the camera gear itself? :P

A technical camera and all the Schneider lenses to go with it.

A couple of Portys and a couple of Nova power packs with 4 or 6 speed heads.

1) Tithe to my church (and as we are currently a mobile church, this tithe check would help buy a building and alot of missions would get some of the funds)
2) Pay off all bills
3) Get a 1DX and some killer lenses, like 600mm prime, etc, and possibly dabble with the latest Nikon offering (D5) and a few good lenses just for fun
4) Several donations to local charities like our Rescue Mission, Charis House, and Community Harvest Food Bank
5) Get a Corvette ZR1
6) The rest of the money would go into a family trust and we would live on the interest, while continuing our support of church and charity.

I would finally get some real lenses. I'm no where close to the disposable income this forum caters to.
