**Might offend** my wifes reaction to the news of my recent order

zacker, congrats on a great camera! If you're willing to attempt to prove her wrong, buy yourself a Minox: http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …ghType=category​Navigation.

If she's right, start saving money for this: http://www.engadget.co​m …am-that-is-debuts-at-nab/ and upon your purchase we'll ask the mods to change your nick to Ron Jeremy

In all seriousness, I'm going to end up telling her when she gets back from her business trip this week. She just asked me if I wanted the 1d mkIIn for our upcoming anniversary. She's so thoughtful. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I already got it. Maybe I can get away with having two! No. I couldn't possibly take advantage like that. Well, maybe.... I really have to get her something nice.

Lord, you didn't hear her, she said: "Honey, do you want 1dS mkIIn for our anniversary". And you should say: "No, hon, that's too much money, why don't we get a 300L f/2.8 instead and invest the rest"

I am so offended! I thought the big pop out telephoto lens represented the... Never mind

Isn't it obvious? ......"3" "0" "D"..... 30D. Think about it. "Yes it is!" indeed.. She saw the code, 30D is "short" for penis.. After you read the manual, you'll show her that you know how to use it...

ROTFLMAO

Size matters

Mine told me to buy the 5D "you will sell the other one wont you 20D" the trouble started when I said I need "L" glass from now on due to it been FF

Here's the deal with me..I am the wife! 8 months ago hubby comes along and out of the blue he wants to buy "ME" a 20D..hmmm ok..only thing about that was I didn't need a camera, shoes, clothes or anything else for that matter. NOW 8 months later, he says "I" use the 20d too much and he wants a 5d..hmmm, and for his birthday that is coming up on the 28th.." What a good little wifey" I think and order it for him..with just ONE trade off...I get my 100-400 and some other great stuff..
It's ALL being delivered tomorrow..

A Penis thing? well for me it was the opposite part of my body, forget the shoes and clothes..I'll just go naked to get my equipment bigger and better, forget his stuff...it's not used much anyways. LOL

now thats funny...lol

What is it called when a woman wants the latest and greatest? its not a penis thing.... would it be penis envy? or is it something else? Hmmmmm I definetly understand that the real reason allot of people (esp us guys) buy the bigger, flashiest, faster and newr.. it is definetly ego... Males are driven by Ego .. no doubt about it, I do admit it. BUt what makes a woman want all that? Like the new shoes or the rich handsome man, or the trendy new bag? I know she has to impress her friends so thats kinda egotistical but is there other reasons?

i was thinking more like "30" D
Bwaaa Haaaa haaaaa!
Now THATS a stretch... get it?
Opps!

No way, just competition on my part... I've never been one that "WANTS" things..but I think all this male tostesterone on POTN has been rubbing off...besides if there ever was a divorce I could prove I bought the camera gear..I'll take a tent and the great outdoors..he can have the house and pets! haha

PS ... I haven't an egotistical cell in my body, because I have no woman friends to impress. I just have myself to please

Oh yeah, that will really fly . While you're at it tell her you've got this nice bridge in Brooklyn to sell. "Not disclosing," " lies of omission".....heh .. heh... hehe... once they figure you're going down that path. Just remember what they say about payback - and they always even the score.

Some call it "compensating." So if we expand on the analogy, what does that say about those folks who get big telephotos for their medium format gear?
