Holy crap! I could buy a couple of family cars for that money. Does it make the coffee as well?

ever watched Americas Next Top Model? (NigerBarker & Tyra swing them)
Commercial/Fashion photographers use them for their huge megapixel count, quality. etc etc


So, in a way.. they do dispense money.

Whoa! That's way outside of what I can afford. Very nice, if you have a small fortune to part with.

Wow! Would that be 1 bedroom or 2? Could buy a small house for that in MS!

Agree.

If you have an actual need for one, I'm sure it would pay itself off in just a few shoots.

Wish I needed one.

The detectives at work were shopping around for cameras, and I sent them that. The supervisor said no. Oh well...

hmmmm, the price has come down a bit.

There is word that Canon is looking to get into the MF market, and is looking into buying Hasselblad. This will be, what? the fifth time or so that someone has bought this company.

Will be interesting to see what happens.

HOLY CARP



And yeah, they are as good as they say they are. Though they're still bloody expensive. Guaranteed, the hardware and lens construction would cost a fortune.
