I pretty much stop buying anything already. Just in case the economy get any worse, I need food, more than gears, on the table. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I just bought a 5DII. :) It's about all I'll buy this year. I'm completely poor now.

Nope.

No purchases planned until after the 1D4 has been available for about 12 months.

Then, let the good times role!

1D4 plus 70-200 f/2.8 plus 16-35 f/2.8 plus 500 f/4 plus a divorce....
Only kidding!
